Public bug reported: I was experimenting with tables of different types (as documented at http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/example9/pandocs-markdown.html) and I had a table like this:
Aug 20 Aug 19 -------------------- --------- -------- Dollar rate 176.100 176.100 Trading volume (M$) 4.33 2.83 Bids 4.44 3.01 Offers (M$) 4.33 2.83 This rendered fine, but for various reasons, I wanted to convert it to a pipe_table: | | Aug 20 | Aug 19 | |:---------------------|--------:|--------:| | Dollar rate | 176.100 | 176.100 | | Trading volume (M$) | 4.33 | 2.83 | | Bids | 4.44 | 3.01 | | Offers (M$) | 4.33 | 2.83 | This does not render correctly -- I had to backslash-escape the dollar signs to fix it. I can guess how this happened, but this idiosyncratic detail of LaTeX math mode formatting should arguably not leak through to Pandoc (especially since you might want to render through something else than LaTeX which handles the backslashed dollar signs differently). I am attaching a simple test file in Markdown. The command line I used was the simplest imaginable, pandoc -o tndoc.pdf tndoc.md I am only just beginning to learn to use Pandoc. If there is something more I should be including for diagnostics, please let me know. $ apt-cache policy pandoc pandoc: Installed: 1.12.2.1-1build2 Candidate: 1.12.2.1-1build2 Version table: *** 1.12.2.1-1build2 0 500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 ** Affects: pandoc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Simple Markdown file to deminstrate the problem" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376113/+attachment/4221083/+files/tndoc.md -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376113 Title: pipe_tables table with dollar signs needs to have them escaped To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pandoc/+bug/1376113/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
