For LF caracter, I'm totally ok with the fact that it will break the markdown output and my answer to that is "KISS". I don't want to handle that case. Markdown Extra obviously decided that there was no such thing as a multiline row. > Say we have: > SELECT E'foo\nbar' as "Header1", 'foo|bar' as "Header2" > > If the markdown output was produced for the sole purpose of being > converted to HTML in the end, which is often the case, it would work > to use HTML entities in the output > > I don't use Markdown to create a HTML output. I use it to generate pdf for my customers. But as Vik said earlier, maybe it's not worth it to provide a markdown output as pandoc can generate the markdown from the HTML output. And if you need the markdown output to generate HTML why don't you use the HTML output ? Cheers, Lætitia -- *Think! Do you really need to print this email ? * *There is no Planet B.*
