@bortzmeyer @sintzoff I just did a simple test by sending a markdown table to "pandoc -f markdown -t latex" and it was a disaster. The output prefixed every cell with "\begin{minipage}[t]{0.05\columnwidth}\raggedright\strut..." crazy. Every cell took a page.

@sintzoff @bortzmeyer I can't imagine writing a book in markdown and converting it to by while maintaining sanity. I could perhaps see its usefulness if there are co-authors who contribute small simple parts, if they don't know LaTeX.
