I haven’t used pandoc in years, do they allow markdown tables to be rendered as a PDF with the grid separator now? At the time, iirc, a pandoc dev took the very opinionated stance that you never needed the grid between fields, and if you did, you simply had poor typography and needed to adjust your use case.
- jarbus 5y agoIs this what you are referring to? https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-grid_tables https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-grid_tables
- yeetaccount4 5y agoI think so. My memory fails me (this was 6 or 7 years ago and I’m getting the the bottom of the bottle here), it might have had something to do with the padding in the tables themselves so that they were easier to read. The specific use case was getting recipe ingredients and their quantities presented nicely so they were clear and easy to read at a glance. I wanted to do them all in markdown and export to PDF with a bash script, but in the end, I used plain text and judicious application of white space for maximum portability. They might have it now, at the time I was shocked the dev refused to even consider inclusion of the feature, even if a patch was submitted (from what I remember).
