Hello,
There are different flavour of markdown, maybe you should document which
one is targetted. Should it be CommonMark? Another variant? Why?
This should be pandoc pipe table. It's because it is similar to aligned
format. I need add this to documentation (i have it in recent TODO)
I still do not understand "why" this variant vs CommonMark or whatever
other version.
ISTM that the md format lacks escaping for special md characters [...]
I'd say that you need to do escaping more or less similar to html?
There is problem with markown and newlines. Replacing newline by br was
only solution that I was able to find.
Fine. That does not answer the question about escaping other special md
characters.
Also, it seems that you use distinct vertical bar characters in the
format? Or is this a trick of my terminal?? It seems that your patch
introduces U+2502 (BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT VERTICAL) instead of the usual pipe
in some places. Maybe you copy-pasted things from the unicode linestyle.
Main of the functionality is used from aligned format. I tested returned
tables in retext and it works. If i have another character than standart
pipe, it shouldn`t work.
Sure. ISTM that you are currently using U+2502 instead of pipe, hence my
point.
Why are *_newline variants added for length and formatting? Would it be
possible to do without, say by relying on the line count computed by the
standard function for instance?
It`s because newlines in markdown, If I need to do it without copy this
function, i had to add parameter for markdown to this functions.
Then maybe it is an option to consider to avoid duplicating code.
