DocX Writer: Document set to RTL, but table remains LTR

DocX Writer: Document set to RTL, but table remains LTR

Hey,

Pandoc version: 2.11.3.2

While converting from markdown to docx, the docx writer isn't setting 
tables as RTL even though the document direction is set to RTL.

So if I have a simple table:

| 1 | 2 |
-----------
|1-a | 2-a |
| 1-b | 2-b |

It is inserted as LTR, and appears reversed to a RTL user.

I manually changed the table to RTL in Word and checked the XML. RTL tables 
have an additional property.

LTR table:
<w:tblPr>
<w:tblStyle w:val="Table"/>
   
<w:tblW w:w="5000" w:type="pct"/>
<w:tblLook w:val="0000" w:firstRow="0" w:lastRow="0" w:firstColumn="0" 
w:lastColumn="0" w:noHBand="0" w:noVBand="0"/>
</w:tblPr>

RTL table:
<w:tblPr>
<w:tblStyle w:val="Table"/>
*<w:bidiVisual/>*
<w:tblW w:w="5000" w:type="pct"/>
<w:tblLook w:val="0000" w:firstRow="0" w:lastRow="0" w:firstColumn="0" 
w:lastColumn="0" w:noHBand="0" w:noVBand="0"/>
</w:tblPr>

Is this a known issue? Or should I open an issue on GitHub?

I don't believe this is a known issue, so please do submit
an issue on the GitHub tracker. Thanks!
