Hello all

I'm trying to convert a docx file to markdown (as an input for hugo) with 
this command:
pandoc test.docx -f docx -t markdown -o out.md



But a simple table:

Input user

Presentation after pushing Enter

Search result

Tom Jerry

Tom AND Jerry

Tom AND Jerry

Tom OR Jerry

Tom OR Jerry

Tom OR Jerry

“Tom and Jerry”

“Tom and Jerry”

“Tom and Jerry”

Tom Jerry OR Goofy AND “Donald Duck”

Tom AND Jerry OR Goofy AND “Donald Duck”

((Tom AND Jerry) OR Goofy) AND “Donald Duck”

(Tom AND Jerry) AND “Donald Duck”

Goofy AND “Donald Duck”

Tom Jerry OR (Goofy AND “Donald Duck”)

Tom AND Jerry OR (Goofy AND “Donald Duck”)

(Tom AND Jerry) OR (Goofy AND “Donald Duck”)

Tom AND Jerry

Goofy AND “Donald Duck”
 comes out like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Input user                               Presentation after pushing Enter             Search result

Tom OR Jerry                             Tom OR Jerry                                 Tom OR Jerry

“Tom and Jerry”                          “Tom and Jerry”                              “Tom and Jerry”

Tom Jerry OR Goofy AND “Donald Duck”     Tom AND Jerry OR Goofy AND “Donald Duck”     ((Tom AND Jerry) OR Goofy) AND “Donald Duck”
                                                                                      
                                                                                      (Tom AND Jerry) AND “Donald Duck”
                                                                                      
                                                                                      Goofy AND “Donald Duck”

Tom Jerry OR (Goofy AND “Donald Duck”)   Tom AND Jerry OR (Goofy AND “Donald Duck”)   (Tom AND Jerry) OR (Goofy AND “Donald Duck”)
                                                                                      
                                                                                      Tom AND Jerry
                                                                                      
                                                                                      Goofy AND “Donald Duck”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The problem is that this does not a correct markdown table, and Hugo 
(https://gohugo.io/) is not able to render this correctly to html. 

I searched the Pandoc manual, but I cannot find a way to control the 
Markdown table output. Can anybody help me, or is this not an option yet in 
Pandoc?

By the way, with html, the table is rendered correctly.

kind regards

Thijs

this does not a correct markdown table


   1. whether a “markdown table” is correct or not depends on the markdown 
   variant in question 
   2. pandoc does not support the markdown variant you mentioned 

It looks like Hugo support pipe tables? Try

pandoc test.docx -f docx -t markdown-simple_tables-multiline_tables-grid_tables -o out.md

Also see the section of markdown extensions, in particular, the table 
extensions in the Manual <http://pandoc.org/README.html>.

Thank you.

This already helped a lot. I checked the manual before posting the 
question, but I did not really understand how to use it. Now I do.
I still have a problem with newlines in my tables, but I think I can fix it 
with some regexes. When I feel really courageous, I might try to check it 
out in the Haskell code.

kind regards

You’re welcome. I agree the table extensions can be difficult to understand 
at the beginning (I personally had opened a repository, writing some tests 
and see the differences between the 4 table extensions.). pandoc’s Manual 
is quite good (there are really bad one, like kramdown’s), but the “genre” 
of manual has limitations. I started a wiki at Pandoc Tricks · jgm/pandoc 
Wiki 
<https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/wiki/Pandoc-Tricks#using-markdown-templates> 
(but I didn’t , and hope that in the future it can be expanded into some 
sort of guide or wikibook.

Typo: delete the "(but I didn't" in the last sentence...
