Table conversion from LaTeX missing multirow strings?

Table conversion from LaTeX missing multirow strings?

Hello, I am attempting to convert a LaTeX document into HTML, but running 
into issues with tables that use `\multirow`. From recent issues / PRs on 
the repo (https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/6603, among others), it 
seems like this is  supported and should work. However, when I run pandoc, 
the multirow values seem to get stripped out. I am using pandoc 2.9.2.1 on 
Ubuntu 20.04, with texlive 2020.20210202-3 installed.

My minimal example is pulled from the GH issue mentioned above:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|r|r|}
\multirow{2}{5em}{hello} & A \\
& B \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Converting this to native Haskell (for debugging), with the following 
command, results in:

$ pandoc table_test.tex -f latex -t native -o table_test.hs


[Table [] [AlignRight,AlignRight] [0.0,0.0]
[[]
,[]]
[[[]
,[Plain [Str "A"]]]
,[[]
,[Plain [Str "B"]]]]]


However, I would expect to see some rowspan declarations and at least the 
string "hello" somewhere in the output. Instead, I'm getting empty cells 
([]). The HTML version of the above is thus also missing the rowspan cell:

<table>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td style="text-align: right;"></td>
<td style="text-align: right;">A</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td style="text-align: right;"></td>
<td style="text-align: right;">B</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>


Am I missing some command-line argument or use of an extension, to get 
multirow table cells to work? I've tried going through this discussion 
board and the documentation, but have not been able to find what I am 
missing. I am new to both LaTeX and pandoc, so perhaps I am missing 
something in the original document as well?

I appreciate your time and help. Thanks!

Support for this was added in pandoc 2.10.1. The latest version is
available here: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest

You could also try a Docker image, see
https://github.com/pandoc/dockerfiles#readme
