Subject: line breaking in grid table cells
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2021 07:44:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2o8cf9jy7.fsf@MacBook-Air.hsd1.ca.comcast.net> (raw)
I'd like to get feedback about a possible change in the
way pandoc formats grid tables (used in markdown, rst, muse,
and haddock).
Currently column widths are strictly enforced, so if a table
cell contains a long verbatim code snippet or a long URL, it
will be broken up so that the contents fit into the cell.
An alternate behavior, suggested in
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/4572,
would be to let the cell expand past its prescribed width
to accommodate the "unbreakable" content.
PR #4572 suggests making this available as an option, but
I'm thinking maybe it should just be the default behavior,
and I wonder if people could comment on that. We could emit
a warning when cell widths are expanded to fit content.
