Great! Regexp syntax is simpl :D (just kidding - a bit)

That's why I propose regexp. That way any user - who understands regexps -
can write even more powerful shortcuts.

The idea is, that the alt+t handler finds an array of objects. It then
executes the instructions in each of the array elements. So it searches in
the tiddler or in the selected range for the regular expression given under
"search" and replaces the matches with the string given under "replace".
/^/gm means: Search for the start of the line (g=search globally, meaning,
search the whole range. m=consider the range to consist of multiple lines)
/ +/g means: Search for any space followed by a sequence of 1 or more (+)
spaces, so search for at least 2 spaces.
/$/gm means: Search for the end of the line. g and m is explained above.
So what this would do is to first search for all linestarts and out a |
there. Then it would search for all sequences of 2 or more spaces and
replace them with a pipe. Last it would put a pipe at the end of each line.
