getting pandoc to always use pipe_tables

getting pandoc to always use pipe_tables

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1628 bytes --]


Hello,

I am also using pandoc as code-format, measns I will write really sloppy 
tables and expect pandoc to sort everything out.
For easier editing (and automatic reformating) I prefer pipe_tables.

The issue now arises when a pipe_table has more content than what would fit 
one one line,
pandoc will not use pipe_tables, but fall back to inline html.

is there any way to restrict pandoc to always use pipe_tables?

I've found that adding `--wrap=none` or `--wrap=preserve` (instead of 
the default 'auto') helps some with this, but I haven't been able to get 
it 100% yet.  (Though it tends to go to grid tables instead of HTML when 
it decides to change things.)

If you add `-raw_html` then it will give you a pipe table.
Of course, this might not work for you if you also have
raw HTML.

Maybe this should be revisited, though, since we now
have a way to indicate relative column widths in a pipe
table with long cells.  You may want to add an issue on
the github tracker requesting that  we no longer fall
back to HTML tables in this case.

I use '--wrap=preserve' and it does not make a difference, I just removed 
anything but the essential for the example.
