Thanks Nicolas --  works now!
I came upon this trying to poke into another issue:  Table containing code
containing a '|'

It was earlier giving some elisp errors -- dont remember on export or on
C-c C-c.
Now that is not happening which is good!

However there is still a minor issue: font-locking shows something like ~x
| y~
inside a table as code but the other table commands like C-c C-c and export
to html treats the '|' as a table marker.

I of course checked Bastien's pointer to the FAQ for '|' inside table.
As of now neither vert nor \vert{} work.
