Re: How is the grid table column width calculated in pandoc?

[Joseph Reagle <joseph.2011-T1oY19WcHSwdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

It is estimated based on the width of the markdown table.

> In multiline tables, the table parser pays attention to the widths of the columns, and the writers try to reproduce these relative widths in the output. So, if you find that one of the columns is too narrow in the output, try widening it in the Markdown source.

I don't know if there's an exact way, but I nudge my columns wider, if needed, with comments:
