Yeah... I should have figured it out by myself. Thanks a lot for your time. But this got me thinking: I wonder if there is a reasonable/meaningful use of <TAB> either in my above example (with one '|' on the left of each row) or after inserting a single '|' on the top left position of the following table |---+---| | x | x | which gives | | ---+--- | | x | x | At 1st sight, it does not seem so to me (in particular, LaTeX export does not turn '---+---' into an horizontal rule for the 2 corresponding columns). So then one could imagine that '|<TAB>' at the beginning of a line starting by '|-' would be interpreted just as '|-<TAB>'.
