Hi,
Is there any way to have a multiline cell in markdown while I run ConTeXt with t-filter module?
This:
| Activitat | Conceptes | idioma | notes |
|:----------|:----------|:-------|:------|
| [DM-40](http://mrmeyer.com/threeacts/buckythebadger/). Quantes flexions hauria de fer la mascota? | funció lineal? | anglès | complicat d'entendre |
| [DM-33](http://mrmeyer.com/threeacts/dominoskyscraper/). Domino gratacels | funció exponencial | anglès | complicat de calcular (per tempteig). no me surt la resposta teòria de 29 |
| [DM-35](http://mrmeyer.com/threeacts/shrinkingdollar/). Encollir un dòlar | funció exponencial | | |
produces me a very wide table.
Thanks in advance,
Xan.
PS: Please CCme

Can you please send a complete minimal example?
Ofcourse: prova.tex

%% ConTeXt template for exercises
%% ConTeXt MIV

% Mòdul t-filter
\usemodule[filter]

\defineexternalfilter
    [markdown]
    [filtercommand={pandoc -t context -o \externalfilteroutputfile\space \externalfilterinputfile}]

%% el text
\starttext

\title{Funcions i {\em problem-solving activities}}

\processmarkdownfile{./prova.md}

\stoptext

and prova.md:

| Activitat | Conceptes | Idioma |
|:----------|:----------|:------:|
| Foo | Boo | Roo <br/> Soo |
| Foo2 | Boo2 | Roo2  Soo2 |

The <br/> is *ignored*. For having two lines, I have to put blank columns:

| Activitat | Conceptes | Idioma |
|:----------|:----------|:------:|
| Foo | Boo | Roo |
|  |  | Soo |
| Foo2 | Boo2 | Roo2  Soo2 |

If you put a long Roo paragraph, you get a (too much) wider table.

@Aditya: can you report the problem or me? I think you have more tech skill to do that. I agree with you: natural tables are more suitable for conversion. And I think that html and natural tables syntax coincidence makes this process easy.

Thanks for that,
Xan.

Pandoc uses the old table mechanism for tables. I think that the best way 
forward is to convert a markdown table to a natural table (\bTABLE etc.). 
That will make it much easier to control the layout of the table. But this 
should be raised as a feature request on the pandoc mailing list.
