tables in two-column latex output

tables in two-column latex output

[Chris]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1513 bytes --]

I've recently been experimenting with drafting conference papers using 
markdown and converting them to latex with pandoc. For this to me 
worthwhile -- for me -- it's important that I can produce an almost-final 
version using only a conference-specific template file. Ideally, I'd like 
to be able to use "./confHelper.sh myMarkdown.txt myConferencePaper.pdf" to 
get a submission-ready result.

There are a few issues I can live with, namely lack of an obvious markdown 
replacement for the different flavors of \cite{} (e.g., \citeA, \citeNP) as 
well as the need to update table and figure number references by hand, but 
there is one blocker:

My papers tend to include tables, and conferences often use a two-column 
environment. I've tried a couple of workarounds, like using 
"\renewenvironment" in my template file to replace longtables with 
tables-in-tabulars, but that breaks my captions. Can anyone recommend a 
good solution?

I imagine you could solve this by writing a filter that takes Tables and
replaces them with RawLatex Inlines that use the table invocation command
that you are looking for.

Re: tables in two-column latex output

[John MacFarlane]

This is a common request.  I'm really unhappy with the current
situation.  longtable is needed to prevent breakage for longer
tables, but it doesn't work with two-column and has some other
quirks.  Perhaps we could offer a command-line option to use
table instead of longtable.

Mark: thanks for pointing that out. If I find myself with some spare time I 
might give it a shot, but for the moment I think that would be a lot of 
work for a fairly brittle and special-case solution.

John: thanks for weighing in. I think a command-line option would be great. 
Obviously it'd be ideal if everything just worked with any environment, but 
that'd be asking a lot of tex (and you!)

I successfully used the following solution once:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/224096

Don't know if it'll run in all situations though, and don't know the 
caveats, so not sure it can be an official solution to put in default latex 
template.

I’m in the same situation…

I think I’ll temporarily solve it by writing my own template for two-column 
outputs that does not use longtable. Probably I’ll be able to dig out from 
Git an older versions of the Pandoc template for LaTeX from before the time 
the switch to longtable happened. Just in case anybody has solved it 
already more elegantly, please let me (and others) know about it…

Also, John had pondered about adding a command line option to Pandoc that 
can switch from longtable to table on-the-fly. Is that still on the radar? 
Or should I create an official request for this?

That was my thought also, to temporarily switch to onecolumn for the table.
I wonder if it can be done without hacking the longtable definition? If
that is possible perhaps a  --twocolumn commandline option is the way to go?

Re: tables in two-column latex output

[BP Jonsson]

I just wrote a filter which will cause Pandoc tables to be 
rendered as tabular environments when generating LaTeX, either 
globally or by wrapping tables which should be munged in specially 
marked divs.

Documentation: <http://git.io/vqWND>

Code (Perl): <http://git.io/vqWWd>
