When converting from md to docx, the br tags in tables were ignored.

The markdown content is as follows

|      | Column1    | Column2    |
| ---- | ---------- | ---------- |
| Row1 | aa         | bb<br />ff |
| Row2 | cc<br />dd | ee         |

The commands executed are as follows.

pandoc "test.md" -o "test.docx"

The result is as shown, <br /> was ignored

Yes, as documented. Raw HTML is treated as raw HTML and passed through to formats that accept raw HTML (e.g. HTML and Markdown). It is ignored in other formats (e.g. docx).

How can I prevent it from being ignored?

[jgm]

You could write a Lua filter that matches a RawInline element with format "html" and contents "
" and replaces it with a native pandoc LineBreak element. See the docs on lua filters.

Okay, thank you so much :), I'll go learn about Lua first and then give it a try

[CBAnother]

Thank you so much, I made it!

function LineBreak(elem)
  -- Replace raw html line breaks with pandoc line breaks
  if elem.t == "RawInline" and elem.format == "html" and 
      (elem.text == "<br>" or elem.text == "<br />") then
      return pandoc.LineBreak()
  end
end

return {
  {RawInline = LineBreak}
}
