Converting docx tables to markdown piped tables

Converting docx tables to markdown piped tables

Hi!

I just wonder why I cannot convert a docx table to a markdown piped table 
if I use the following command: pandoc -t markdown+pipe_tables

It only works if I convert it to markdown_mmd or markdown_phpextra but has 
the drawback that I get much more diffs compared with my original markdown 
document (which I have converted to docx for review purposes). Also the 
syntax of docx documents changes to the form using spans.

Did I understand the extension mechanism incorrectly?

Is it that you're getting a different kind of table?
Pandoc's Markdown supports several kinds of tables,
and the markdown writer tends to prefer the other
styles to pipe tables. So, if you want pipe tables,
you may have to disable the others: try

-t markdown-simple_tables-multiline_tables-grid_tables

Disabling the other table extensions works well, thanks!
