Latex Tables Linewrapping

Latex Tables Linewrapping

Hello there,

I intended to use markdown/pandoc for technical documentation automatically 
publishing docx, pdf and html versions. Trouble is that text in table cells 
didn't get wrapped in docx and latex output, so up to 90% of a table lay 
outside the page. Is there an easy solution to  this? I know about 
multiline/grid tables, however I find them rather unhandy.

I was thinking about writing a patch that makes pandoc produce something 
like this:


\usepackage{tabularx}
[...]
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{ X [...] }
[...]

This would result in equally-sized line-wrapped columns, which isn't always ideal but much better than what I get now. What do you guys think?

Regards

M

What version are you using?  From the changelog for 1.15.2:

    + Pipe tables with long lines now get relative cell widths (#2471).
      If a pipe table contains a line longer than the column width (as set by
      `--columns` or 80 by default), relative widths are computed based on the
      widths of the separator lines relative to the column width.  This should
      solve persistent problems with long pipe tables in LaTeX/PDF output, and
      give more flexibility for determining relative column widths in other
      formats, too.  For narrower pipe tables, column widths of 0 are used,
      telling pandoc not to specify widths explicitly in output formats that
      permit this.

So it's already there, thanks for the answer!
I was using a distro binary...
