Hey! This project is called remark-gfm
, not remark-multimarkdown
or remark-pandoc
, so nope, not going to happen.
I recommend not doing this. Use regular GFM tables. Or, use HTML.

So are you at any point considering adding support for row spanning or column spacing in the future. If not, what alternatives do you have in place for tables with merged cells for remark-gfm ?. Tried a handful of things for my current use case but it doesnt seem to work.
Hey @Damola18! 👋
Taking a step back, consider not creating another markdown flavor. The reasons and alternatives are explained best here: https://github.com/micromark/micromark?tab=readme-ov-file#extending-markdown

Not to remark-gfm, no.

None in remark-gfm
Tried a handful of things for my current use case but it doesnt seem to work.
It is possible to create your own markdown extension for pandoc or any other flavor you want to support. https://github.com/micromark/micromark?tab=readme-ov-file#creating-a-micromark-extension the process is involved, but possible.
Initial checklist
Problem
Show table with merged cells (like one header row spanning over two cells)
Currently the following syntax does not work
Note that Github does not seem to suport this either :
Solution
Support syntaxes allowing t create merged cells
