Conversion of table from RTF to Docx or html doesn work when there is an embedded complex hyperlink with bookmark in the field #10942
Description
The RTF is based on the content of rich text field queried from the database. I am using latest pandoc 3.7.
I cannot attach RTF which cause me trouble but I created a new repository wih rtf file and output html
https://github.com/danieltomasz/PandocTest
The table in rtf looks normal ( But it have an embedded hyperlinks for some of the cells)
But the output from pandoc problem.rtf -s -f rtf -t HTML --wrap=none -o problem.html is lacking one of the fields where hyperlink has bookmark
Workaround:
I can use LibreOffice soffice --headless --convert-to docx problem.rtf to correctly convert it.
Expected behaviour,
So learned that the pandoc implementantion of "RTF" is not complete, I understand limitation, but may in case of such problem would be possible to put the text "above" the hiperlinks, instead of providing empty cells? In comment below, more minimal example with hypelinks and bookmark markers which cause pandoc to choke
Below an MVE (problematic RTF)
{\rtf1\ansi\deff0
{\fonttbl{\f0\froman Times New Roman;}}
{\colortbl;\red0\green0\blue0;}
\deftab720
\trowd\trleft0\cellx2000\cellx4000
\pard\intbl
{{\field{\*\fldinst HYPERLINK "https://example.com" }{\fldrslt {\hich\af0\loch\hich\af0\loch\cf0\f0\cf0\f0\loch
{\*\bkmkstart _dx_frag_StartFragment}{\*\bkmkend _dx_frag_StartFragment}Problem Text}}}}\cell
\pard\intbl Normal Text\cell
\row
\trowd\trleft0\cellx2000\cellx4000
\pard\intbl Simple Text\cell
\pard\intbl More Text\cell
\row
}
And resulting HTML (with doesnt include problem cell)
