Centering in a grid table

Centering in a grid table

I cannot figure out why I am able to center "Heading 1" over the A and B 
columns but not "Heading 2" over the C and D columns: 

+--------+:------------:+-------------+--+:--------------:+-------------+
|        | Heading 1    |             |  | Heading 2      |             |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
|        |   |    |     |             |  |    |      |    |             |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
|        | A |    | B   | Q           |  | C  |      | D  | Q           |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
| T      | 1 |    | 121 | 61          |  | 49 |      | 64 | 56.5        |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
| U      | 1 |    | 121 | 61          |  | 49 |      | 64 | 56.5        |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
|        |   |    |     |             |  |    |      |    |             |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
| V      | 2 |    | 22  |             |  | 14 |      | 16 |             |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
|        |   |    |     |             |  |    |      |    |             |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
| W      |   | 12 |     |             |  |    | 15   |    |             |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
|        |   |    |     |             |  |    |      |    |             |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
| X      | 1 |    | 121 |             |  | 49 |      | 64 |             |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+
| Y      |   | 61 |     |             |  |    | 56.5 |    |             |
+--------+---+----+-----+-------------+--+----+------+----+-------------+

I'm attaching the output (not sure how else to include it here). But you 
can see what I mean if you copy/paste the above into pandoc.org/try, and 
then process with: 

pandoc --from markdown --to latex --standalone --no-highlight

Thanks for any guidance you might have!

Sorry, I didn't realize I could improve presentation by using Courier new. 
Here's the grid table again:

+--------+:------------:+-------------+--+:--------------:+-------------+

Re: Centering in a grid table

[John MacFarlane]

That's a really good question. Probably this deserves to be on the issue tracker.

Support for colspans was recently added in this syntax, and it's not entirely clear how centering SHOULD work when combined with colspans.
