Yes! We need a way to generate tabular rather longtable tables to deal with nested tables. longtable does not support nested tables, tabular does. Meanwhile, can you suggest some work-around to deal with nested tables?
Hello John,I also have an issue with long tables due to 'longtables' sometimes unnecessarily split small tables (depending where you insert). So, while we don't have a better option how about if pandoc provide an option to use standard tabular instead of the default longtables?--

It occurred to me that what I had thought of previously may not work:
modifying the LaTeX template to not use `longtable`, but another
package instead and get classoption `twocolumn` to work.
This may be because the LaTeX "micro code" (my name for it) for tables
may not work when simply loading a different table package. Is this
assumption correct?
Correct, use of longtable is hard coded. This is quite
unfortunate, and I've long been wanting a better alternative
that will work with 2-column text but also break across
pages when needed. Haven't found one yet.
Failing that, it may be worth having an option for regular
tables.
Do I indeed have to resort into writing my own raw LaTeX code if I want
tables in two-column output?
It's probably possible to redefine the longtable environment
to something else in your preamble.
