Hello,

I am trying to use org-mode now with R code in it to write manuscripts. That 
does unfortunately mean that it must be eventually exported to some doc 
format. I have been able to export to markdown and everything looks good in 
markdown (even previewed on github) with the exception of latex code which is 
not converted. However, using pandoc to convert the markdown to docx, the 
tables are not converted properly (all a single column). 

I realize this is a pandoc problem, but since markdown supports tables, is it 
possible to have Org export the tables into markdown as markdown tables 
rather than html tables? Also, is there a way for latex code to be converted 
prior to markdown export?

Thanks, Aric
