You are using the grid table syntax.
I was referring to the simple table syntax as below:

	=====  =====  ======
	   Inputs     Output
	------------  ------
	  A      B    A or B
	=====  =====  ======
	False  False  False
	True   False  True
	False  True   True
	True   True   True
	=====  =====  ======

That's the difficult thing with PDF build, we do not have
any clear error message. I had to bisect to find the root cause.

No and I cannot reproduce it on my laptop.
I see the failure only on dpdk.org which has a different OS version.
