Hello John,
Use a footnote? It's just a temporary reminder right?
No. Even though there are a few temporary reminders, most of the comment lines are permanent. They describe different blocks of lines. Sorry if my example was oversimplified. I thought presenting the full table (currently 871 lines, 20 columns and a width of 234 characters) would be too confusing. Maybe the following example is better: |-----------+------------+--------| | animal | size | number | |-----------+------------+--------| # mammals (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammal): | gnus | big | 3 | | elephants | very big | 1 | # insects (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect): | gnats | small | 1000 | | flies | also small | 2000 | # other: | python | long | 2.7.12 | |-----------+------------+--------| Is there a way to tell org-tbl to simply ignore a line, without converting it into |--+--+--| ? I'm flexible with respect to the comment character. In the example I chose "#" but anything else would be fine as well, for example "//" or "|#" or whatever...
