To have similar things look similar and make it clear in the manual I suggest to change the long existing ~/~ Do not export this line. Useful for lines that contain the narrowing `' markers or column group markers. Finally, just to whet your appetite [...] to ~/~ Do not export this row or column. In the first column ~/~ means do not export this row which is useful for rows that contain the narrowing ~~ markers, column group markers or markers to not export a column. In all other columns ~/~ means do not export this column if also the first column is marked with ~/~. When the first column should not be exported move its content other than markers into an other column. When more than one marker is needed in a column put each in an own row with ~/~ in the first column. Finally, just to wet your appetite [...] Michael
