Attempting to generate a PDF from JupyterLab (or jupyter nbconvert at the command line) fails. I've narrowed it down to a cell containing a Markdown table.

To reproduce, open the attached notebook file in JupyterLab, and attempt to export to PDF.

This file demonstrates the error:
Bug.txt

Nbconvert version: 6.0.7

The error message is:


500 : Internal Server Error

The error was:

nbconvert failed: PDF creating failed, captured latex output:
Failed to run "['xelatex', 'notebook.tex', '-quiet']" command:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.999992 (TeX Live 2020) (preloaded format=xelatex)

I could have sworn that there was an earlier issue about this but I cannot find it. Anyways, one of our dependencies (pandoc) is super picky with the format of tables. If the spacing isn't just right, then it will fail.

I have the same problem, but it works for small tables.
When the table is medium/big, minipage are used in the .tex and cause an error (even with perfect markdown tables).
This is only happening for recent pandoc version.

Left with pandoc 2.5 (working) / right with pandoc 2.14.1 (not working) :
nbconvert_table

This problem occurs with recent versions of pandoc because pandoc now requires the calc and array packages. Adding \usepackage{array} to the template will resolve this error, at which point there will be an error from the lack of calc. Adding both should resolve the problem. Calc is brought up by #1566.

Fix recent pandoc latex tables (jupyter#1536, jupyter#1566)
159e27a 
Pandoc >= 2.11.1 requires the calc package, and pandoc >= 2.11.3
requires the array package, for larger tables (taken from git blame
for pandoc's templates).  This commits adds the two packages in
an order similar to that in pandoc's templates.
