I don't think this feature is directly related to spreadsheet capabilities. Actually, / in first column is described earlier in the manual, in "3.3 Column groups". Besides, there is a similar feature described in "3.2 Column width and alignment", about lines containing only alignment cookies: Lines which only contain these formatting cookies will be removed automatically when exporting the document. IMO, a better change would be to merge 3.2 and 3.3 as "Column operations" or some such, and add "<#>" as a way to ignore columns upon exporting. This way, everything related to columns is packed in the same subsection, and every column markup uses < or >. Moreover, there is no possible confusion with # markup from spreadsheet. WDYT?
