pandoc --filter pandoc-placetable -t markdown

Sorry, I did not intend to mis-repr= esent what pandoc-placetable currently can do and w= hat it cannot.

I know it can convert to Markdown t= ables. 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 =E2=80=94 simply by adding it into the code b= lock metadata: {.table header=3D"yes" type=3D&qu= ot;grid" ....}.

I tried to get the same thing with = pandoc --filter pandoc-placetable -t markdown+multiline_ta= bles, but it didn=E2=80=99t work.

(Maybe I=E2=80=99m missing somethin= g =E2=80=94 then please tell me.)

Cheers, Kurt

The topic of CSV support in Pandoc has come up several times= on this list, includes this thread from 2014:

Since last year = I work for an organisation that frequently deals with tabular data (and hel= ped organize CSVconf earlier this month), and I have done some thinking on = how CSV could fit into Pandoc.

Are you aware of these two Pandoc f= ilters?

Both =E2=80=9Cabuse=E2=80=9D the fe= nced code block syntax, assign the class .table to = the block and allow inline CSV data as well as referencing an external CSV = file.

Personally, I still prefer to use <= em>csv2table (over the newer placetable) because I can also u= se it to convert CSV to Markdown tables (grid, simple and multiline) =E2=80= =94 which *placetable=E2=80=9D currently doesn=E2=80=99t do because it work= s differently (AFAIU):

  • placetable converts CSV to Pandoc=E2=80=99s = native format directly
  • csv2table converts CSV to Markdown first.
=E2=80=8B

=E2=80=8B
