Hi
I start with
| Example | Text | Dates | other |
|---------+---------+--------------+---------|
| this | comment | <2022-01-28 vie> | nothing |
That is converted to
+---------+---------+--------------+---------+
| Example | Text | Dates | other |
+---------+---------+--------------+---------+
| this | comment | <2022-01-28 vie> | nothing |
+---------+---------+--------------+---------+
And is converted back to
| Example | Text | Dates | other |
| this | comment | <2022-01-28 vie> | nothing |
Couldn't in the last step the hlines be respected?
Regards
Uwe Brauer

That would not make sense.
AFAIK, table.el has no notion of hlines. The +---+ separators in
table.el tables mark cell boundaries, not hlines.

It would make sense if I later want to export the final table (after converting org-->table-->org
To say latex. There the hlines make a difference, that is why I am asking

org-->table conversion is not reversible. hlines are not part of
table.el syntax and cannot be retained.

I recommend using native Org tables.
Do you need a specific table.el feature that you miss in native Org tables?

Merging and splitting cells!

Can you please send a separate message detailing the feature request and
how you envision this functionality to work? (I know that many people
desire this feature, but it is not easy. A good dedicated discussion
may help to push things forward in this area.)
Also, I am wondering what happens with merged cells when you convert
from table.el to native Org tables. I suspect that it does not work
well...
