Table floats with tabular material vs longtable has been discussed before
and there doesn't seem to be a solution that satisfies all users. Would it
be possible to make different table styles configurable with pandoc? An
option like:
tables=longtable|table
would be much appreciated.
If possible, I'd also like to propose a third option, maybe called
"plaintable" or "plaintabular" or something, that also disables pandoc's
control of table widths with minipages. Some users (like me) would like
plain tables and solve too wide tables in other ways (like redefining the
table environment to set a different font size).

I would welcome an option to avoid longtable. I'm working on a book that
will include some tables and I need them to be floats. If I don't have an
easier solution, I may try to use a script to convert the tables to raw
LaTeX and then modify the string with regular expressions to turn it into
some variant of tabular.
