Fenced code blocks in multiline tables

Fenced code blocks in multiline tables

[Ivan Lazar Miljenovic]

I'm trying to have a slide in my presentation where I compare two code samples.

I thought the best way of doing so would be to use a multiline table,
with a code block on either side.

The problem is that whilst the code block is accepted within the
multiline table, it doesn't seem to parse properly.

A sample table:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Regular Express                              Parser Combinators
---------------------------------  ---------------------------------------------
```haskell                              ```haskell
"\.\([[:alpha:]][[:alnum:]-_:\.]*\)"    identifier = do
```                                       first <- letter
                                          rest <- many $ alphaNum <|>
oneOf "-_:."
                                          return (first:rest)
                                        ```
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The output of running this through Pandoc and telling it to output the
Native Haskell representation is:

Table [] [AlignCenter,AlignCenter] [0.4375,0.5625]
 [[Plain [Str "Regular",Space,Str "Express"]]
 ,[Plain [Str "Parser",Space,Str "Combinators"]]]
 [[[Plain [Code ("",[],[]) "haskell \"\\.\\([[:alpha:]][[:alnum:]-_:\\.]*\\)"]]
  ,[Plain [Code ("",[],[]) "haskell \"    identifier = do first <-
letter rest <- many $ alphaNum <|> oneOf \"-_:.\" return
(first:rest)"]]]]

(Note that if I use ~ rather than ` for the code block, it instead
parses it as a subscript.)

If I try to manually create a table:

Table [] [AlignCenter,AlignCenter] [0.4375,0.5625]
[[Plain [Str "Regular",Space,Str "Express"]]
,[Plain [Str "Parser",Space,Str "Combinators"]]]
[[[Plain [Code ("",["haskell"],[]) "foo"]]
 ,[Plain [Code ("",["haskell"],[]) "identifier = do first <- letter\n
rest <- many $ alphaNum <|> oneOf \"-_:.\"\nreturn (first:rest)"]]]]

The resulting Markdown is then:

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Regular Express                    Parser Combinators
  ------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
          `foo`{.haskell}             `identifier = do first <- letter
                                   rest <- many $ alphaNum <|> oneOf "-_:.
                                                     "
                                       return (first:rest)`{.haskell}
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

(It isn't obvious from this snippet, but this table appears right
after the previous line, rather than leaving a blank line as required
for multiline tables.)

Is there any way to achieve what I want?

AFAIK, code blocks are supported in `grid_tables` only, not in any other 
table type.

I know `fenced_code_blocks` work within `grid_tables`, because I've made 
use of them in the past.
