Re: [Orgmode] Re: Can I input multiline in a cell?
I haven't sent any HTMl that I know of--I fully embrace the plain text KISS methods. I've changed my fonts (all fonts--fixed and otherwise) to a font using the string Mono somewhere in its name, and things seem better reading and copying-and-pasting into an email buffer like this one--it should take care of all problems with reading and writing @aligned tables@. Thanks for pointing that out Bastien (about the fonts)--the FreeMono and Courier fonts in GOOGLE CHROME are ugly--I tried them all after your email--I settled on DejaVu Sans Mono Book; but, again, I have never posted HTML to this list that I remember--I used to work with IETF members on XML protocols and I'm very familiar with GML, SGML, HTML, XML, etc--I know HTML when I see it. The only markup that I inserted was [[file: --but thats not HTML--its OrgMode? If I paste text and set its font to XYZ @and@ you allow your browser to view the XYZ font and character set @and@ you have the XYZ font software installed and/or your email software has it, then you'll see it the way the writer intended you to see it. If you ever see anything from me with uncovered down/aligned table columns again, please tell me, sorry about that, it shouldn't happen again. I strongly believe that problem has been solved. (I'll look into turning off HTML sending in my GOOGLE CHROME browser options--like you suggested Bastien) As for OrgMode and my idea, my plan: I will be setting ^H as an end-of-line $ marker in my own code--when I am in a buffer running OrgMode--and I'll see if I can make multivariate stat. tables like the example table Wang gave--EMACS has the only regexp engine that is easily tweaked that way--that I know of (see Regular Expressions, O'Reilly, 1st edition) Now, should OrgMode table mode support the creation of tables like the one Wang gave as an example?

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Can I input multiline in a cell?
I'm not offended; I'm looking into the turning off of html from my GOOGLE CHROME browser. I have been experimenting with the new features like inserting images, etc. And yes, as you point out that very email has markup (on your side--if you accept it)--and that very email apologized for the problem and explained that I would look into it--its still a problem--for you.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Can I input multiline in a cell?
They were plain text emails? (Believe me, I understand what you mean/the problems people cause when they paste things in the buffer that aren't plain text--that is one reason to use OrgMode.) In any case, sorry about that--I just copied-and-pasted my tests--right from the OrgTable/file? My suggestion then (after all that brainstorming crap) boils down to this alone: Maybe put in 1 key in table mode that puts a dummy line in, maybe something like this: | --it puts in the same number of cell separators and empty cells on empty line as are on the previous line---or you could just do: Cu 8 | Enter Tab And then it spreads it out/covers-down the columns--or the user then just taps Tab (OrgMode will then format the table for them) And then the OrgMode user would type in the multi-line-text column in the respective column-cells. Or I suggest a keyboard-macro (to put in the dummy rows) for this too; thats what I'll do--I'll put it in my .emacs. Thanks Bastien and Wang.

Bastien: I agree with you, every time I get emails from other users, they are jagged and unclear--and; like you typed they are unreadable/unclear (the columns aren't covered down)---maybe its the font that I use? I'll research the different fonts--I think Courier font may keep things clearer. Here is a test: |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 11B | 21W | 31B | 41W | 51B | 61W | 71B | 81W | 91B | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 12W | /u/0802.jpg | 0 | 0 | [[file:j]] | 0 | multi | 0 | * | | | | | | | | | | line | | | | | | | | | | | | text | | | | | | | | | | | | text | | | | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 13B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 14W | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 15B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 16W | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 17B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 18W | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 19B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 18W | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 17B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 16W | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 15B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 14W | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 13B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 12W | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| | * | 11B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | * | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---+-+-+---| #+TBLFM: ---yes, courier font is what I used to use--it aligns tables better. I'll use courier font; and, I suggest others use it--when dealing with/expressing table problems to others--many fonts don't cover down columns. Thanks again Bastien.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Can I input multiline in a cell?
Forget all previous emails from me on this thread; I thought there was a simple way to do this in OrgMode--will this work for you Wang?: All you have to do is this I believe (not sure about the Org publish/TeX output though--tell me if it works out for you): Ca Enter | Tab and then type in your multi-line text--and maybe Tab a few times--this took about 15 seconds: |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---| | * | 15B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---| | * | 16W | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | | | multi | | | | | | | | | line | | | | | | | | | text | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---| | * | 17B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |---+-+-+-+-+-+-+---| #+TBLFM: ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

brian powell briangpowel...@gmail.com wrote: My suggestion then (after all that brainstorming crap) boils down to this alone: Maybe put in 1 key in table mode that puts a dummy line in, maybe something like this: | --it puts in the same number of cell separators and empty cells on empty line as are on the previous line---or you could just do: Doesn't M-S-down do that? In the context of a table, it ends up calling the function org-table-insert-row. If you want a single key (e.g. a function key) to do that, you can bind it directly to this function. Of course, simulating multi-cell input like this breaks the table model and might cause difficulties in other places, but you can always try it and see how far you can push it.

For that you have to use table.el tables. As far as I recall there is an option for that in the Org main menu. -- Coeus GL Will org consider to support this in future? I just think org table is more convenient than table.el.
