The following markdown code containing html table tags doesn't render properly when converted to latex format using Pandoc.
file.md:
<table> <tr> <th>Alfreds Futterkiste</th> <th>Maria Anders</th> <th>Germany</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td> <td>Francisco Chang</td> <td>Mexico</td> </tr> </table> | Alfreds Futterkiste | Maria Anders | Germany | |---------------------|--------------|---------| | Centro comercial Moctezuma | Francisco Chang | Mexico | pandoc file.md -s -t latex
results in (output snipped to relevant portion):
Alfreds Futterkiste Maria Anders Germany Centro comercial Moctezuma Francisco Chang Mexico \begin{longtable}[]{@{}lll@{}} \toprule Alfreds Futterkiste & Maria Anders & Germany \\ \midrule \endhead Centro comercial Moctezuma & Francisco Chang & Mexico \\ \bottomrule \end{longtable} adding the --verbose option to pandoc shows it is ignoring the html tags

I do not wish to use pipe tables as they are harder for tech writers to edit/use.
