Insert table in PDF report

[def-q]

Hi, I'm trying to add a table in my report template so that i can put all the findings characteristics inside. But once i try to generate the report in PDF format, I receive an error saying Pandoc died. I've tried to debug it a bit but cannot understand why it does that only to the tables. The markdown code used is the following:

Test Nr. | Position | Radius | Rot | Grün | Blau | beste Fitness | Abweichung |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 |  20 % |  20 % |  20 % |  20 % |  20 % |  7,5219 |  0,9115 |

Hi @def-q, I have investigate and it seems that happens when the size the table is bigger than the width of the column. The next couple of lines appear in the latex output once the above condition is triggered. The application used to generate the PDF has still an opened issue about that: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1023

If you remove 1 column appears to work:

Test Nr. | Position | Radius | Rot | Grün | Blau | beste Fitness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 |  20 % |  20 % |  20 % |  20 % |  20 % |  7,5219 |
