Thanks - that works fine, except for the \SI macro, as it has an optional
argument(?) as the second argument. It looks as follow:

\SI{17.09}[R]{cell}            ->   R17.09 cell
\SI{10}{ha}                 ->   17.09 ha

I have no idea how I can implement the first syntax?

and that I have no idea how I can implement the %

\newcommand{\percent}{\%}

produces an error during the pandoc conversion.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rainer
