Simple_table to docx generation not performed as expected.

[mmienkina]

Hello,
Using pandoc-3.1.13 and generating table to docx.

Table representation in markdown (close to simple_tables extension generated by tabulate with tablefmt="plain") :

  Start addr [hex]  End addr [hex]      Size [KB]   Description
------------------  ----------------  ------------  -------------
          46000000  467FFFFF                  8192  PBRIDGE
          46800000  46FFFFFF                  8192  Reserved
          47000000  477FFFFF                  8192  Reserved
          47800000  47FFFFFF                  8192  Reserved

Generated docx:

Grid extension table works fine but I prefer simple_tables because width of simple_tables is nicely scaled to table content vs. grid one looking like scaled to the window:

Workaround is to generate table using grid extension and then manually scale table using (Layout->Autofit to Content) that requires manual interaction with generated file and hence not preferred.

Can you please suggest on how to get correct results from simple_tables extension?

Thanks,
Martin M.

Here's what it looks like when I generate a docx from that table using current pandoc:

That looks fine. Do you get different results if you use the latest pandoc version?
(Note: this is Word for Mac. What are you using to open the docx?)

Hello John,
Thank you very much for your answer.
Having confirmation it works, I have look at other places and found issue in my script embedding md tables in a single md file. This issue caused wrong formatting of table headers (see below) in a big md file used by pandoc.exe to generate docx.

Start addr [hex]  End addr [hex]      Size [KB]   Description
------------------  ----------------  ------------  -------------

After fixing issue and providing correct headers my tables in docx looks as expected.
Thank you and kind regards,
Martin M.
