Flexible Tables

Flexible Tables

[ivo welch]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1286 bytes --]


I am still fairly new here.  I want to author most of my documents in 
markdown for pandoc.   My three key output formats are powerpoint, latex, 
and html.

my main problem is the lack of column spanning support in md tables.  
 Alas, until there is a definitive solution, are there crutch solutions?  
In particular, I wonder how one can author raw html tables (and/or raw tex) 
tables into the markdown text and just do it twice, once in each native 
format.  or can pandoc take an html table with column spans, properly 
designated in the markdown, and convert it to a tex table with column spans 
(i.e., not authoring the table as a markdown table).

if anyone has a suggestion, please post a simple example.

Yes, you can do this. Use the raw attribute:

```{=latex}
\begin{table}
...here's your tex table.
...it won't appear in HTML output
\end{table}
```

```{=html}
<table>
...here's your HTML table.
...it won't appear in LaTeX output
```

Sorry, the answer to this is no, currently.

is there a generic fallback like an "else" statement for neither html nor
latex outputs?

If you mean a third version which is used when targeting any other format
then you would need a div and filter it out when targeting LaTeX or HTML.
That subject was up here only last week. Look for "conditional compilation".
