I am aware of a number of these workarounds. The specific one you are proposing does not work for me as the markdown tables are in collaboratively edited documents and I can’t get the other authors to do any special dance around the tables; orgtbl-mode has to just work. Besides, a 83-line workaround for what can be done seamlessly by changing one line of code? (Yes, it would be nice to also preserve the column alignments, but we already have a solution that gets around that limitation.) Grüße, Carsten
