As is, orgtbl-mode is a great addition to markdown-mode.

There is one snag:

The markdown table syntax isn=E2=80=99t fully standardized.
A number of implementations react unfavorable to the + characters that =
orgtbl-mode uses as a column/row separator in the line separating the =
header from the body of the table; they prefer the | character here as =
well.

So I apply this little patch in org-table-align each time I install a =
new version of org-mode:

org-table.el
874c158
<              (hfmt1 "-%s-+"))
---
>              (hfmt1 "-%s-|"))           ; HACK: + =E2=9E=94 |

Works perfectly.  But it would be nice not to have to apply this patch =
each time I update.

Would it be possible to make hfmt1 configurable?
(Preferably, using a buffer-local variable so I don=E2=80=99t have to =
break tables in org-mode proper?)
