thanks, mb. yes, I think you are right. this format is easier to write align, but perhaps more difficult to read especially when not properly aligned. (A formatter that aligns could help.) I also think now that default formats at the top of each column could be nice, too. I have seen ':---' and ':---:' and '---:' be used. it could be even more useful with an embedded string format, such as ':--%.3f--' as the first table line. This could then be handled with a '|:' instead of '|'. If there is no format string, '|:' is interpreted as before. /iaw -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.
