Re: [O] orgtbl-insert-radio-table forbid blanks in the table name
Hello, Pascal Wittmann pascalwittm...@gmx.net writes: I noticed that its possible to enter a name containing blanks when calling orgtbl-insert-radio-table. I don't think that this is intended, because blanks are used as separators in the #+ORGTBL line. Entering a the name first table will result in the following error message: No such transformation function table For me (as a novice) it was at first not obvious what I did wrong. My suggestion is to chose an other input method that forbids blanks. Documentation uses table_name in order to describe the name of the table, implying there shouldn't be any space in that name. Maybe it could be made more explicit, with, i.e. a footnote somewhere. I fixed this locally with the attached patch, but I'm sure there are better solutions (I find it unintuitive that blanks terminate the input). Another possibility is to return an error if the string read contains any whitespace character. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
