I know it can convert to Markdown tables. But (AFAIU) it can generate only 
one type of table: simple_table.
However, with pandoc-csv2table I can generate simple_table, multiline_table, 
pipe_table and grid_table types — simply by adding it into the code block 
metadata: {.table header="yes" type="grid" ....}.

I tried to get the same thing with pandoc --filter pandoc-placetable -t 
markdown+multiline_tables, but it didn’t work.

(Maybe I’m missing something — then please tell me.)

Cheers, Kurt
