Indeed I thought I remembered that headerless pipe tables had worked. This explains. However it seems that (1) a single pipe is an acceptable header line, and (2) an empty header line is ignored in output, which makes this change acceptable to me. I wonder if the old behavior really broke anything for anyone, other than them having to be mindful which data they fed to which program -- but you should be mindful of that always anyway.
I think worths noting that the pipe table behavior was different in versions < 1.14.--According to http://pandoc.org/releases.html#behavior-changes, on version 1.14, the pipe tables behavior changed:Disallow headerless pipe tables (#1996), to conform to GFM and PHP Markdown Extra. Note: If you have been using headerless pipe tables, this change may cause existing tables to break.--

I had tried that even before, and it didn't work then. Probably I had some slight difference in syntax which I cannot remember now.I had read the manpage paragraphs about pipe_tables, a few times even, but didn't see this. Right now I tried to find the quoted sentence by running `man ~/.cabal/share/man5/pandoc_markdown.5` (because I have cabal-installed 1.14.04), but this gives a manpage dated January 2013. Looks like I have to go online in the future in order to get the current documentation...Thanks again.To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/pandoc-discuss/4938bd61-5131-4fb9-b0b8-7281acce521a%40googlegroups.com.
