Re: Incorrect column widths / text off page, for table containing math

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

See the pandoc manual under pipe tables:

If a pipe table contains a row whose Markdown content is wider
than the column width (see --columns), then the table will take
up the full text width and the cell contents will wrap, with the
relative cell widths determined by the number of dashes in the
line separating the table header from the table body. (For
example ---|- would make the first column 3/4 and the second
column 1/4 of the full text width.)

Your table has

|:---|:---|

which says to  make the columns equal-width.  Try

|:-|:-----|

for example, to make the right-hand column 5 x the
width of the left-hand column.

Note that in LaTeX tables widths must be specified;
LaTeX doesn't calculate optimum column widths the way
HTML does.
