Wide tables don't render

[fkohrt]

If I put the following table inside a document that outputs to komaletter::komaletter I get an error.

| One Column                                        | Another column with a very long but useless title |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Another column with a very long but useless title | Another column with a very long but useless title |

The error message is

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> @{} >{\raggedright \arraybackslash 
                                              }p{(\columnwidth - 2\tabcolsep...
l.99 ...nwidth - 2\tabcolsep) * \real{0.5000}}@{}}

I can resolve the error by adding the tabularx package as dependency to the YAML header:

output:
  komaletter::komaletter:
    extra_dependencies: ["tabularx"]

But now I get the following error:

! Missing number, treated as zero.

Hi fkohrt, thanks for the reproducible example! Will definitely look at it. Might take some time, since I am traveling without capable laptop at the moment. I have to ask a nive question because i never embeded a table in my komaletters so far: Does the problem also show with "normal sized" tables? cheers robert

Hi Robert, thank you for the quick reply! No, for non-wide tables I experienced no problems. But this was the first time that I used your nice package and I haven't had the chance yet to test the full variability of possible tables (e.g. tables spanning multiple pages, tables with cells that include linebreaks etc.). No worries, enjoy the time without laptop! Best, Florian

If I understood correctly, this is due to newer pandoc versions. Pandoc "now" needs packages array and calc for longtables. Pandoc's default.latex template changed in the "table area" around version 2.11. I copied that part into my template. Your reproducible example works for me now. Please test, @fkohrt

Yes, it works for me as well. Thank you!
