All,

In the above thread I presented the grid.md example shown at the bottom of
this message. I also couldn't resist trying another level of nesting,
resulting in the grid2.md example shown below. This works, but I'm
wondering whether there's a bug (in the HTML writer) relating to how nested
grid table widths are calculated:
- pandoc -s grid2.md -o grid2.html gives the first image shown below
the markdown, in which the nested grid table has a scroll bar
- The table and column widths are as shown immediately below and I'm
wondering where the width:44% came from. Removing it gives the second
image below the markdown (no scroll bar)
I'm not seriously suggesting actually using a text editor to create deeply
nested tables such as these... but given that it works I wanted to
understand what was going on with the table width calculation.
Thanks,
William
