Steps:

1. Download Dockerfile and Makefile

2. Build the image with:

   docker build -t pandoc-2.9 .
   

3. Place your Markdown files in the same directory as the Makefile

4. Run make

Notice! This gist is a simple demonstration. The Makefile will get *.md files and create new *-out.md files. Each subsequent run will generate next files in the directory :). Take note of that and edit the files to your own need. Enjoy!

Dockerfile

FROM pandoc/core:2.9.2.1

RUN apk add \
    python3 \
    py3-pip \
    && pip3 install pantable

Makefile

inputs = $(wildcard *.md)
outputs = $(patsubst %.md,%-out.md,$(inputs))

all: $(outputs)

%-out.md: %.md
	docker run --rm -v $(shell pwd):/data test -F pantable -s -o $@ $^
