Formatting markdown tables

We can easily format a markdown table in vim using pandoc. Starting with the below table

| **Reference**                              | **Study area**    | **Status**        | **Scale**     | **Social component** |
| -------------------------------------------| ----------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | -------------------- |
| [Alves, R. G., Maia, R. F., et al. (2023)] | agriculture   | prototype     | local     | no |
| [Angin, P., Anisi, M. H., et al. (2020)] | agriculture   | architecture  | local     | no |
| [Bauer, P., Stevens, B., et al. (2021)] | earth systems | proposed    | supra-regional | yes, partial, proposed |
| [Buonocore, L., Yates, J., et al. (2022)] | environment | framework | local | no |
| [Calvin, K. and Bond-Lamberty, B. (2018)] | earth systems    | proposed | supra-regional | yes |

we can visually select the entire table and use pandoc to format the selection.

:'<,'>!pandoc -t commonmark_x

which generates the following formatted table:

| **Reference**                              | **Study area** | **Status**   | **Scale**      | **Social component**   |
