Comment #2 on issue 1709 by bryan.oa...@gmail.com: literal continuation rows

Yes, my original use case is any of the plain text formats where you have data that is also in the same format -- pipe separated format with pipes in the data, space separated format with extra whitespace in the data, tab separated with tabs in the data. There are perhaps other use cases such as creating actual test data (versus documentation) that has the same format that the test is written in.

I considered mixing spaces and pipes, but the result was just about as unpleasant as escaping the pipes. I assume you're suggesting something like this:

    } Some test case
    | | [Documentation]
      ...  Example:
      ...  | | my example with pipes | foo | bar | baz
    | | [Tags] | and so on

The goal is for my team to be able to easily document their tests and keywords, and for people to be able to easily read the documentation within the file as well as from generated documentation.
