Hi Vikas,

AFAIK, the visual-fill-mode features are implemented at a very low level
in the display code, in C.  It would be nice if it was possible to mark
lines as exempt from wrapping (e.g. by putting a text property on
them).  Org could then arrange for tables to have this text property,
and not be wrapped.  But this would require changes to emacs’s C code.
(I’m also not sure how it would interact with visual-fill-column-mode,
which is a third-party addon.)

Another option would be to use auto-fill-mode to keep your text
paragraphs within your desired width, without affecting tables.
