Howsabout some code to put in a "dummy row" in an OrgMode Table--this would
facilitate inputting multi-line-text--i.e. a key in
OrgMode/TableMode/CalcMode
would insert exactly a line like this in the table below:
|   |     |             |     |     |             |     |   |     |     |
|
---and thats it--you're done---then you just type in the text in the column
cells you want the multiline text.

You should be able to export this table to HTML or LaTeX and simulate a<br>

Also, note that you can shrink the cell length by adding &lt;length&gt;:<br=
