Re: Ineditable InDesign tables

[John MACFARLANE <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

Try creating a simple markdown table in table.md, then:

pandoc -t icml table.md

to look at the icml source pandoc produces for that table.
Let us know if anything looks fishy.  I don't know anything
about ICML, but output for a simple table looks plausible to me
and I don't see doubled anything...

Any ICML experts out there who can comment?
