Hello John,
> Use a footnote? It's just a temporary reminder right?
No. Even though there are a few temporary reminders, most of the comment
lines are permanent. They describe different blocks of lines.
Sorry if my example was oversimplified. I thought presenting the full
table (currently 871 lines, 20 columns and a width of 234 characters)
would be too confusing. Maybe the following example is better:
|-----------+------------+--------|
| animal | size | number |
|-----------+------------+--------|
# mammals (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammal):
| gnus | big | 3 |
| elephants | very big | 1 |
# insects (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect):
| gnats | small | 1000 |
| flies | also small | 2000 |
# other:
| python | long | 2.7.12 |
|-----------+------------+--------|
Is there a way to tell org-tbl to simply ignore a line, without
converting it into |--+--+--| ?
I'm flexible with respect to the comment character. In the example I
chose "#" but anything else would be fine as well, for example "//" or
"|#" or whatever...
Best regards
Rolf
