pandoc-grid-table README

Features

This Extension aims to help in handling pandoc grid tables.

Grid Tables can look something like this:

+-----------------------+----------+
| Properties            | Earth    |
+=============+=========+==========+
|             | min     | -89.2 °C |
| Temperature +---------+----------+
| 1961-1990   | mean    | 14 °C    |
|             +---------+----------+
|             | max     | 56.7 °C  |
+-------------+---------+----------+

As we can see, in comparison to classical pipe tables, grid tables are a bit complexer but more powerful due to the following features:

• Grid Tables can contain concatenated columns
• Grid Tables can contain concatenated rows
• Grid Tables can contain multiple rows per cell
• Furthermore a header and footer can be added

This extension enables you to quickly jump from one cell to the next as well as auto formatting the table. It should work as a general helper for working with pandoc grid tables.

Requirements

For this extension to make any sense you need to have pandoc installed.

Extension Settings
