Convert tables with colspans /rowspans from mediawiki to LaTeX

Convert tables with colspans /rowspans from mediawiki to LaTeX

[Carsten Gerlach]

Hi all,

I want to use pandoc to convert some mediawiki tables whicht contain
colspans and rowspans to LaTeX format.

I use this command: pandoc -f mediawiki -t latex -o output.tex input.txt

The used pandoc version is 1.19.2.1


Normal Tables are working good, e.g.

{|
| A1 || B1 || C1
|-
| A2 || B2 || C2
|-
| A3 || B3 || C3
|}

will result in

\begin{longtable}[]{@{}lll@{}}
\toprule
A1 & B1 & C1\tabularnewline
A2 & B2 & C2\tabularnewline
A3 & B3 & C3\tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}

But a table with colspan, e.g.

{|
| A1 || B1 || C1
|-
| colspan=2 | (A…B)2 || C2
|-
| A3 || B3 || C3
|}

will result in:

\begin{longtable}[]{@{}lll@{}}
\toprule
A1 & B1 & C1\tabularnewline
(A\ldots{}B)2 & C2\tabularnewline
A3 & B3 & C3\tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}

But I would expect this result:

\begin{longtable}[]{@{}lll@{}}
\toprule
A1 & B1 & C1\tabularnewline
\multicolumn{2}{l}{(A\ldots{}B)2} & C2\tabularnewline
A3 & B3 & C3\tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}

With rowspan it is a similar behaviour:

{|
| A1 || B1 || C1
|-
| A1 || rowspan=2 | B(2…3) || C2
|-
| A3 || C3
|}

will result in

\begin{longtable}[]{@{}lll@{}}
\toprule
A1 & B1 & C1\tabularnewline
A1 & B(2\ldots{}3) & C2\tabularnewline
A3 & C3\tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}

But I expect this:

\begin{longtable}[]{@{}lll@{}}
\toprule
A1 & B1 & C1\tabularnewline
A1 & \multirow{2}{*}{B(2\ldots{}3)} & C2\tabularnewline
A3 & & C3\tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}

Is there a special option which I have to give to the pandoc command? Or
is the expected result not possible in general?

Thanks for any hint!

Greetings, Carsten

Pandoc doesn't yet support col/row spans in tables.
See https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1024

Thanks for the hint.

So I'm looking for another solution in the meantime until issue 1024 is
implemented. :)

Greetings, Carsten
