Pandoc: Creating Tables, Markdown to PDF
<p>I am trying to create a table in a PDF using pandoc. The following table renders nicely in markdown:</p>

<pre><code>| Type of Policy | Expansionary Policy | Contractionary Policy |
|---|---|----|
| Fiscal Policy | decrease t (increase di, increase C), increase government spending| opposite |
| Monetary Policy |decrease rr, decrease dr, buy securities (increase MS, decrease i, increase I)| opposite |
</code></pre>

<p>But when I convert using <code>pandoc notes.txt -o notes.pdf</code>, I get the following:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/XFSQf.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/XFSQf.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>Is there a reason why the table is such a small width? And is there a way to easily change this?</p>
