If anyone would like to take on the task of creating a reasonable markdown input table format that allows for multiple column spanning with output support into docx, pptx, latex, pdf, and html, *AND* convince john macfarlane to accept the changes into the pandoc code base in 2020, I would be happy to subsidize the effort with $500. please coordinate with this group, john, and myself if interested. /iaw PS: we had some discussions about reasonable input formats in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/pandoc-discuss/iaw%7Csort:date/pandoc-discuss/1Ljpq0fX9fo/VDoV01uwAAAJ . this particular format would work great for me, but any other reasonable input format would be ok for me, too. getting john m on board is really key. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.
