Multi column table

Multi column table

[Peng Yu]

There are multiple line table. Is there a multicolumn table like this?
I.e, two or more column share the same column name.

Column name1   Column name2
--------------------   --------------------
x1    |    y1                 z1
x2    |    y2                 z2


Regards,
Peng

No, no colspans or rowspans are supported in pandoc tables.

I see that multiple column cell in a table is supported in rst. Is it
very difficult to get this implemented in pandoc?

The Table data structure pandoc uses does not allow cells to
span multiple columns or multiple rows.  So the change would not
be too easy.  We'd have to change the Table structure, figure out
how to parse multi-column and multi-row cells, and change all
of the writers so they can deal with these.  It's doable, but it's
a big job and would require some thought.
