Re: [O] Tables not converted to markdown format with markdown exporter
Hello, Joost Kremers writes: > There are certainly markdown variants that support tables, > MultiMarkdown, PHP Markdown Extra and Pandoc markdown do, for example. Org only supports vanilla markdown out of the box. So there is no table conversion available (it is exported as HTML since vanilla markdown does support raw HTML). Various ELPA provide more advanced markdown conversion. The OP may use those. Since Org table and expected markdown tables are identical, another option is to force to export raw tables by surronding them within a #+begin_export md...#+end_export md block. This can be done automatically in a dedicated hook, e.g., `org-export-before-parsing-hook'. See manual for details. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

There are certainly markdown variants that support tables, MultiMarkdown, PHP Markdown Extra and Pandoc markdown do, for example. Roland, if Org export won't work, you may want to take a look at Pandoc. It accepts Org files as input and can produce Markdown files as output, and it supports a number of different types of tables. The kinds of tables you're looking for are called pipe tables in Pandoc's documentation: http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#tables HTH -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments

[O] Tables not converted to markdown format with markdown exporter
Hi, Since a few weeks we use mattermost at work and I had recently to post a table to a team channel. I have created my table with org-mode, but when I export it to markdown format, the table is converted to html instead of markdown. Is there any reason to that, except the simple fact that table conversion is not implemented yet? As the markdown format is quite similar to the org-mode format regarding tables, I don't really see where could lie the difficulty. Example: - org format | column 1 | column 2 | column 3| |---++-| | some text | some more text | event more text | | blah | 45 | fgf | - markdown format | column 1 | column 2 | column 3| |---||-| | some text | some more text | event more text | | blah | 45 | fgf | This is obviously a very simple example, but usually, with mattermost, one doesn't post very complex messages.
