Re: Pandoc: Suggestions for latex table generator

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

The recommendation to use p columns may be fine for some cases,
but I'm skeptical it will work for all of the block-level
constructions pandoc needs to produce.  I think there was a
reason we used minipage and not p.

Worth experimenting around with it, though.
