A new type `SimpleTable` is made available to Lua filters. It is
similar to the `Table` type in pandoc versions before 2.10;
conversion functions from and to the new Table type are provided.
Old filters using tables now require minimal changes and can use,
e.g.,
if PANDOC_VERSION > {2,10,1} then
pandoc.Table = pandoc.SimpleTable
end
and
function Table (tbl)
tbl = pandoc.utils.to_simple_table(tbl)
…
return pandoc.utils.from_simple_table(tbl)
end
to work with the current pandoc version.
