problem when omitting closing tags inside div

[pi3141]

Explain the problem.

If I omit to close td tags, I have three trailing colons after the table and a warning of a non-closing div, even if the html is valid.

test.md :

::: mydiv

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>cell A
    <td>cell B
    <td>cell C
  <tr>
    <td>cell D
    <td>cell E
    <td>cell F
</table>

:::

command
pandoc test.md -o test.pdf

output

the warning :

[WARNING] Div at test.md line 1 column 1 unclosed at test.md line 17 column 1, closing implicitly.

Pandoc version?
pandoc 3.6, Linux debian 6.1.0-11-amd64

Pandoc has some logic to deal with nested divs and HTML; this is complicated and doesn't always work properly.

Best approach in cases like this is to mark this explicitly as HTML:

::: mydiv
```{=html}
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>cell A
    <td>cell B
    <td>cell C
  <tr>
    <td>cell D
    <td>cell E
    <td>cell F
</table>
```

Or use -f commonmark_x.
