I would prefer a more generic way to do it instead of having a specific case for tables in include. Maybe a Lua function to preprocess the content of the file before including it. I'll think about it.

As a quick workaround I would rather suggest using https://github.com/CDSoft/upp to include such tables. upp works on the file content, not on the Pandoc AST.

e.g.:

issue_7.md:

Table with a custom header and caption:

$(include_table "table.md" {header="---|---", caption="Caption"})

Same table with a default header and no caption:

$(include_table "table.md")

table.md:

a|b|c
d|e|f
g|h|i

include_table.lua:

-- this function shall be loaded by upp to include pipe separated tables
function include_table(name)
    local function render_table(conf)
        local t = {}
        for line in io.lines(name) do table.insert(t, line) end
        if conf.header then
            local header = type(conf.header) == "boolean"
                and t[1]:gsub("[^%|]+", "-") -- default header separator deduced from the first line
                or tostring(conf.header)     -- custom header
            table.insert(t, 2, header)
        end
        if conf.caption then table.insert(t, "\n: "..conf.caption) end
        return table.concat(t, "\n")
    end
    return setmetatable({}, {
        __call = function(_, conf) return render_table(conf) end,
        __tostring = function() return render_table{header=true} end,
    })
end

Then you can chain upp and panda. E.g.:

upp -l include_table.lua issue_7.md | panda -t markdown

gives:

Table with a custom header and caption:

  a   b
  --- ---
  d   e
  g   h

  : Caption

Same table with a default header and no caption:

  a   b   c
  --- --- ---
  d   e   f
  g   h   i

Just a thought: what about...

:::(include=xyz.csv)

Table: This is my caption
:::

Right now the actual contents of the block are being thrown away. Could they be appended to the included file instead?
