Re: When converting markdown tables to docx with pandoc is there way to put a border on the table in the docx file?

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

Is "Table Paragraph" a standard word style that is meant for
paragraphs inside tables?

If so, then it seems to me we should change pandoc so this is
used automatically.
