Pandoc generated table: decimal alignment

Question

I'm having a hard time trying to get Pandoc to generate a table with properly aligned decimal points. Looks like out of the box this isn't supported.

If I have a simple markdown table with one column:

|  6.5 | 
|  8.5 | 
|  6   | 
| 11   | 
| 14   |

This is what I get:

Is there a way to achieve proper decimal alignment without hand-tweaking the TeX template?

Answer 1

No, as of 2015 the internal Pandoc representation of table alignments includes only left, right, center and default. So you'll have to tweak your TeX template or if you're targeting only TeX output, you can write inline-Tex.
