How to convert nested tables? | longtable vs tabular

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 911 bytes --]



I’ve successfully converted Jupyter HTML-format simple tables to 
LaTex-format tables using pandoc.read(raw.text, ‘html’).blocks in a lua 
filter.  The resulting LaTex is \begin(longtable} …  That’s okay for simple 
tables, but longtable does not support nested tables, which I do need.

How to convert to LaTex tabular tables (which supports nested tables) 
rather than to longtable tables (which does not)?  Or is there some other 
solution to converting nested tables?

I found a filter on an old thread that attempts to produce tabular tables 
rather than longtable tables, but as noted in the thread it does seem to 
work for all of us: 
https://groups.google.com/g/pandoc-discuss/c/RUC-tuu_qf0/m/h-H3RRVt1coJ

Perhaps someone can provide a new working lua filter to produce tabular 
tables?  MUCH appreciated.

Last time I looked Pandoc's AST couldn't represent nested tables anyway.

Surely a table cell <https://pandoc.org/lua-filters.html#type-cell>'s
contents is a list of blocks (which can include tables). What about this
markdown example (butchered from two of the examples in the manual)?

I've come to better solution for getting Jupyter-displayable tables to 
LaTex. Use kable to create an HTML representation and use kable again to 
create a LaTex representation. Build a “mimebundle” list with these two 
representations as elements. Use IRdisplay’s publish_mimebundle function to 
display. The HTML representation will be rendered when running Jupyter; the 
LaTex representation will be copied as-is by pandoc when converting from 
Jupyter-format to LaTeX-format.

x = data.frame(a=c(1,2,3), b=c(10,20,30), c=c(100,200,300))
x.html = kable(x, format=“html”, escape=FALSE, align=rep(“r”, ncol(x)), 
caption=“This is from HTML”, row.names=FALSE, 
table.attr=“style="white-space: nowrap;"”)
x.latex = kable_styling(latex_options=c(“hold_position”),
kable(x, format=“latex”, escape=FALSE, align=rep(“r”, ncol(x)), 
caption=“This is from LaTex”, row.names=FALSE))
mbx = list(data=list(“text/html”=as.character(x.html), 
“text/latex”=as.character(x.latex)), metadata=NULL)
publish_mimebundle(mbx$data, mbx$metadata)

I've come to better overall solution.  Rather than have pandoc convert HTML 
tables to LaTex tables, I've coded the tables in both HTML and LaTex format 
within the Jupyter notebook.  The HTML representation will be rendered when 
running Jupyter; the LaTex representation will be copied as-is by pandoc 
when converting from Jupyter-format to LaTeX format.

x = data.frame(a=c(1,2,3), b=c(10,20,30), c=c(100,200,300))
x.html = kable(x, format=“html”, escape=FALSE, align=rep(“r”, ncol(x)), 
caption=“This is from HTML”, row.names=FALSE, 
table.attr=“style="white-space: nowrap;"”)
x.latex = kable_styling(latex_options=c(“hold_position”),
kable(x, format=“latex”, escape=FALSE, align=rep(“r”, ncol(x)), 
caption=“This is from LaTex”, row.names=FALSE))
mbx = list(data=list(“text/html”=as.character(x.html), 
“text/latex”=as.character(x.latex)), metadata=NULL)
publish_mimebundle(mbx$data, mbx$metadata)
