I'll agree with Daniel that
sometimes, it's useful to have vertical table separators. Here's how I
kind-of do it:
| asdlfj | | alsjfdas | |--------+---+----------| | alsdjf | | aqsljf | | asdljf | | asldjf | This is visible enough inside of org-mode and it yields a widish gap in exported html -- a horizontal screen space waster, though. I suppose one way to denote a vertical separator without adding an extra symbol would be to allow tables in org-mode that look like this: | asdlfj || alsjfdas | |--------++----------| | alsdjf || aqsljf | | asdljf || asldjf | Scott Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 06:23:16 +0200 From: Carsten Dominik <address@hidden> On Apr 12, 2007, at 20:48, Daniel J.

Whether you consider org-mode tables to be a markup or a spreadsheet, it's peers -- HTML, LaTeX, Gnumeric, Excel, etc. -- will all produce tables with vertical rules if asked to do so. I'm wary of tools that enforce style. I'd prefer to read the style guide and then decide for myself (that is, use it as aFair enough.However, if vertical rules are too clunky, difficult, time-consuming, or low priority to implement, that's an entirely different matter that I can fully understand.As I said, I don't want to have a special separator for this, implementation would be very cumbersome and I'd like to be able to have ! as a character in a table field. Maybe something like a special #+FORMAT line above the table to set special formatting directives. - Carsten |
