Dear Folks,
pandoc --from markdown+pipe_tables --to latex --pdf-engine lualatex --output inter-column-space.pdf inter-column-space.md
My markdown file is as follows:
---
title: "What determines the inter-column space/separation?"
papersize: a4
fontsize: 11pt
mainfont: Noto Serif
geometry:
- margin=25mm
header-includes:

| | 80 characters in second column |
The behavior I am seeing is that as soon as the number of characters passes 80 characters in the second column the inter column spacing increases and does not adhere to the margins specified in the YAML block.
Here is a link to the compiled PDF which clearly shows what I see:

Since I am using the same source to create a PDF and DOCX file I would like to use the same table markup for both. I do not see this issue in the DOCX version as I compile it with a reference doc.
I hope you may be able to provide me with a robust table solution.
Many thanks,
Nanda
