Subject: a few suggestions for org-mode table
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:29:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A3BAEDC.50101@alumni.ethz.ch> (raw)
1) I would like to have the fixed width columns in tables to be able to wrap around text as an alternative to the now implemented text truncation. As a "workaround" I use this:
| x | first letter |
| y | the greek |
| | \ letter |
| | \ ypsilon |
| | z still empty |
| t | x, y, z and t |
This is almost perfect except the real pain for the manual rewrap when changing the text. The difficulty I see here is to define, how do I want to indicate the top and bottom edge and width of the cell? Probably by padding the separators +---+---+ and defining the column width <9> if they are not already there. But since I would like to optionally remove the separators again after the change, it would be necessary to have some indentation like I did with `\ ' and which should not conflict with alignment.
2) One could like to have configurable left/right alignment, even combinable with column width, e. g.
| <l10> | <r> |
| 3.14 | 0x10 |
| 3.141592=> | 0x32 0x10 |
3) One could like to have decimal point alignment
| 432.10 |
| 5'432.1 |
