Description
Seethe original request on Google Groups for details.
Here's my original message copy/pasted from that thread:
I am trying to use Org mode to document few Nim (https://nim-lang.org) packages. Nim has an internal HTML documentation generator that parses ReST markup docs and doc-strings.
So I am doing:
pandoc foo.org -o foo.rstto export Org docs to ReST.
This works mostly fine except that the Nim document generator doesn't parse the grid-style ReST tables generated by Pandoc.
Example:
This style of ReST tables is parsed fine by the Nim doc generator:
======= ========= Option Meaning ------- --------- ``+`` All numbers (including positive ones) are preceded by a sign. ``-`` Only negative numbers are preceded by a sign. *SPACE* Negative numbers are preceded by a sign, positive numbers are preceded by a space. ======= =========But this style (grid-style) is not:
+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Option | Meaning | +===================================+===================================+ | ``+`` | All numbers (including positive | | | ones) are preceded by a sign. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | ``-`` | Only negative numbers are | | | preceded by a sign. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | *SPACE* | Negative numbers are preceded by | | | a sign, positive numbers are | | | preceded by a space. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+Here is the Org source:
| Option | Meaning | |-----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | =+= | All numbers (including positive ones) are preceded by a sign. | | =-= | Only negative numbers are preceded by a sign. | | /SPACE/ | Negative numbers are preceded by a sign, positive numbers are preceded by a space. |Is there a way to choose the former style of ReST table when exporting from Org?
If not, would you please add this feature?
Thanks!
To which,@jgm replied:
In principle, we could change the RST writer so it produces the simple tables when the contents of the table are simple enough (no block structure, no overly long lines).
