Re: Image references in a column break after one character

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Pandoc tries to preserve the relative column widths in the original table.  If you have  table with a very narrow second column, pandoc will reproduce that in a grid table (since the colmun widths in this format matter).

One possible workaround would be to use a Lua filter to adjsut the column widths of Table elements after they are parsed.

Another would be to alter the column widths of the source table.
