Pipe character causes pandoc to hang

Pipe character causes pandoc to hang

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 779 bytes --]

Hi, 

I have an org file which I am trying to convert to markdown. It is having 
trouble with lines in the file that consist of a single pipe (|) character 
only. Such files cause pandoc to hang during the conversion, with the 
memory usage steadily increasing. 

Anyone know of a way I can get this type of conversion to succeed, without 
changing the file contents?

Sounds like a bug in the org reader, which should be reported on our issue tracker, if you can give a short reproducible example. (Also make sure you've tested it with the latest pandoc.)

Thank you. I was not using the latest pandoc version. Having upgraded I 
tried the conversion again and this time a conversion was carried out, but 
now all lines that consist of a single pipe character are completely 
removed from the resulting markdown file. 

Is this expected behaviour?

I’m not sure…Albert Krewinkel would know.  If nobody replies, open an issue.

Re: Pipe character causes pandoc to hang

[Bastien DUMONT]

These lines are interpreted as empty tables. The org-mode manual suggests you add a zero-width space before the pipe character in such cases: https://orgmode.org/org.html#Escape-Character
