Pandoc markdown table conversion not outputting great

Pandoc markdown table conversion not outputting great

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2055 bytes --]

I am attempting to follow the pandoc markdown table help 
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#pandocs-markdown but it's nto working out at 
all.

Ideally I would like something like:

[image: desired.png]
but I get:

[image: result.png]
the text in my markdown includes. I know it things the first line is a 
header, since the bold but the alignment is off and there are no 
gridlines...


x       4       6       13      10      8       7       9       11      12  
    5
---     ---     ---     ---     ---     ---     ---     ---     ---    
 ---     ---
y       -16     -14     3       -5      -8      -12     -7      -3      0  
     -14

which produces:

<table>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th style="text-align: left;">x</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">4</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">6</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">13</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">10</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">8</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">7</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">9</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">11</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">12</th>
<th style="text-align: left;">5</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td style="text-align: left;">y</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">-16</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">-14</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">3</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">-5</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">-8</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">-12</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">-7</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">-3</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">0</td>
<td style="text-align: left;">-14</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Any thoughts how I can get something which looks half ok?

From the user guide:

Column alignments are determined by the position of the header text 
> relative to the dashed line below it
>

so play a bit with it.

for example:

---
title: table examples
header-includes: |
  ```{=html}
  <style>table{border-collapse: collapse} table,th,td{border:1px solid 
black} td,th{padding:5px}</style>
  ```
---

# example 1: centered

 x    4    6    13    10    8    7    9    11    12    5
---  ---  ---  ----  ----  ---  ---  ---  ----  ----  ---
 y   -16  -14    3    -5   -8   -12  -7    -3     0   -14

# example 2: right aligned

 x    4    6   13   10    8    7    9   11   12    5
--  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---
 y  -16  -14    3   -5   -8  -12   -7   -3    0  -14


(i hope the copy&paste and code formatting in google groups didn't mangle 
the code above, sorry if it did)

I only included the css style in the header above for convenience in this 
example, compile with standalone if need be. You should put that in your 
external css.

Thanks you so much for taking the time. I was asked for an attachment the 
other day and posted a .md file and it was deleted twice, the rules here 
frustrate me!
