If you kno...Which version of Pandoc are you using?<br /><br />If you know how to open a terminal/shell window, you can cd to the folder with your text source file in it and do "pandoc source.txt -o target.html". This won't fix the problem, but it will let you see what the Pandoc error message is, which might be a clue.<br /><br />If you put a sample text file that you are having problems with on Google Docs or some such site, I can take a look at it. Offhand, the only guess I can make is that it has something to do with character encoding.Talysmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162328521343832412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-68222608679767591332013-05-07T19:27:18.242-07:002013-05-07T19:27:18.242-07:00I have had no luck with tables.

I keep getting Filter return code: 1 errors, but only with tables.<br /><br />I try to build one from scratch, no dice.<br /><br />I copied the example table from your site, same error.<br /><br />I got Wrack & Wruin's markdown version of S&W and I can build the files on it (including tables). I isolate the tables to a separate file or modify the tables, they do not build.<br /><br />I wish I knew what I'm missing. <br /><br />FWIW, the last time I used markdown, I ended up creating tables by exporting them from LibreOffice into HTML.sycarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741233143540350684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-6902268665047491672013-05-02T15:42:00.960-07:002013-05-02T15:42:00.960-07:00They have the advantage that they can be used w/ p...They have the advantage that they can be used w/ proportional fonts. But I believe they don't allow multi-line rows, which is going to be necessary for things like death & dismemberment tables, or any table with results that are descriptions of stuff in the game world. I decided to explain only one kind of table that would cover everything.Talysmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162328521343832412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-3108131492038456462013-05-02T15:31:46.946-07:002013-05-02T15:31:46.946-07:00I've found the pipe separated tables to be the...I've found the pipe separated tables to be the most convenient to work with in markdown.<br /><br /><a href="http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#pipe-tables" rel="nofollow">http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#pipe-tables</a>Necropraxishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716340801054739658noreply@blogger.com
