Hello!

I searched and searched but perhaps was using the wrong terms.  I played around a lot with using rules, whether or not "single column rows" have three or two + characters (both above and below, depending on what is below it), but I'm not sure I'm getting the grid table syntax right for pandoc.  Or perhaps this is not supported?

I would like to be able to layout a grid table with variable number of columns per row.  The following is what I am working with:

test.md contents:



to generate (grid_table.sh as executable file in same directory as test.md):

#!/usr/bin/env bash

markdown_configs="-f markdown+grid_tables+pipe_tables+simple_tables+multiline_tables+tex_math_dollars --column=88"
doctype="-t latex --latex-engine=xelatex"
inputs="test.md"
pandoc $markdown_configs $doctype $inputs -o test.pdf

rendered output

see attached test.pdf

Note: same results regardless of latex engine, but included because the actual thing I am working with must be xelatex.

Thanks for explaining what should change or if this cannot be supported.  Extra thanks, if unsupported, for a (brief!) explanation of why -- I'm genuinely interested ;)
