Checking the list of special chars in the Advanced Features section
above, I see #!$*_^/ only - I'm not sure what the \ is doing in the
[...] character class. I propose getting rid of it as well as the space.
Also, org-table-clean-before-export is called from two places in
org-table.el, neither of which uses the maybe-quoted argument[fn:1], so
I propose getting rid of it and the if clauses as well. Like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/lisp/org-table.el b/lisp/org-table.el
index 6d649ab..bfe396e 100644

(defvar org-table-clean-did-remove-column nil) ; dynamically scoped
-(defun org-table-clean-before-export (lines &optional maybe-quoted)
+(defun org-table-clean-before-export (lines)
"Check if the table has a marking column.
If yes remove the column and the special lines."
- (let ((special (if maybe-quoted
- "^[ \t]*| *\\\\?[\#!$*_^/ ] *|"
- "^[ \t]*| *[\#!$*_^/ ] *|"))
- (ignore (if maybe-quoted
- "^[ \t]*| *\\\\?[!$_^/] *|"
- "^[ \t]*| *[!$_^/] *|")))
+ (let ((special "^[ \t]*| *[#!$*_^/] *|")
+ (ignore "^[ \t]*| *[!$_^/] *|"))
(setq org-table-clean-did-remove-column
(not (memq nil
(mapcar
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Any objections?
Footnotes:
[fn:1] I checked contrib as well and nobody uses it there either. Although
it's possible that somebody uses it out in the wild, I think it's
very unlikely. But if you do use it, let me know.
Thanks,
