Hi,

Would it be difficult to allow stacking of table formula lines.  With
the current setup I find I often have #+TBLFM lines stretching far past
the right margin of my page.

For (a very contrived) example, I'd like to be able to replace this


| 1 |  2 |  3 |
| 2 |  3 |  5 |
| 3 |  4 | 36 |
| 4 |  5 |    |
| 5 |  6 |    |
| 6 |  7 |    |
| 7 |  8 |    |
| 8 |  9 |    |
| 9 | 10 |    |
#+TBLFM: @1$3=vsum(@1$1..@1$2)::@2$3=vsum(@1$1..@1$2) + 2::@3$3=vsum(@1$1..@8$1)


with this


| 1 |  2 | 3 |
| 2 |  3 |   |
| 3 |  4 |   |
| 4 |  5 |   |
| 5 |  6 |   |
| 6 |  7 |   |
| 7 |  8 |   |
| 8 |  9 |   |
| 9 | 10 |   |
#+TBLFM: @1$3=vsum(@1$1..@1$2)
#+TBLFM: @2$3=vsum(@1$1..@1$2) + 2
#+TBLFM: @3$3=vsum(@1$1..@8$1)


Thanks -- Eric

Well, that line is really only a storage location, it is
not meant for reading and editing.  Have you tried "C-c '"
in the table as an alternative.

I'm constantly amazed how after years of using org-mode I only seem to
have scratched the surface of it's functionality.  Thanks for the
pointer. -- Eric
