Re: Pipe table content does not wrap in PDF

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Two issues:

1)  You're using gfm+pipe_tables, not pandoc's markdown.  The special treatment of relative column widths in pipe tables is a pandoc innovation, not something GFM implements, so it doesn't work with gfm+pipe_tables

2)  The raw HTML in the cells wouldn't pass  through to PDF anyway...
