Conversion of md to RTF fails

[louisnichols]

Hi!

I am trying to convert the markdown below

|     | Test |
| --- | ---- |
| a   | foo  |
| b   | boo  |
| c   | goo  |

using this command
pandoc temp.md -f gfm -t rtf -o test.rtf --verbose

And I get a very weird result that looks like below (truncated)

The actual files are these (rtf file is zipped due to github limitations):
temp.md
test.zip

If I convert the same md file to docx using pandoc temp.md -f gfm -o test.docx, it works. I get a table as expected.

I then noticed that even with a simpler md file like below

# Test1

## Test2

### Test3

I get this:

Shouldn't this work?

You need to add the -s flag to get a complete, standalone RTF file.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that. It worked.

@louisnichols if badumont's suggestion worked, then please accept their answer.
