One more crazy idea. What if there were a choice of two vertical
separators? Currently '|' is the only character used for this purpose.
If, however, something like '\' were used to signal a multi-line cell,
then it would be possible to control this feature on a row-by-row
basis. As soon as the
It might even be desirable to mix single and multi line cells in the
same row. That would introduce some restrictions on how single-line
cells are edited when they are in a row that contains multi-line
cells. I suppose they could be collapsed onto the first line in the
cell by replacing newlines
Here's another suggestion. There could be an optional org table mode in
which horizontal lines are used to separate rows:
| Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, | foo |
| consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed| |
| sit amet luctus sapien. Phasellus | |
| malesuada, ipsum et hendrerit
Not a bad idea, but this would be incompatible with the existing useof
horizontal lines to separate sections and export to visual lines, right?

Yes, it would be incompatible. But there could be a mechanism to enable the
multi-line mode on a per-table basis. For display and grouping purposes,
horizontal lines could still be allowed by adding two consecutive lines:
|-+-|
Why not do it this way? An org table gets a second file created along
with it. That second file holds all writing going into the table. That
second file has a link for each cell too. All links point to the
original org table file and each entry in the second file at its end has
a return
It's not a perfect solution (many of us have wished for some way of doing
multi-line cells in orgmode, but there's no clear solution...) but I use a
combination of width restraints[1] and toggle-truncate-lines, which I've bound
to F5. If it comes to the worst, I would probably pull out csv-mode
