Yes, I think nested tables are not supported. I think that would be very difficult to do: the markup is not designed for ease of parsing (unlike e.g. HTML, where the beginning/end of the table are marked explicitly). > Every cell can't contain '\n' also as I found out, is that correct? > Not sure what you mean here: what's a cell? e.g. | a | b | c | | d | e | f | I can consider "a" as the contents of a cell (six cells), or I can consider "a d" as the contents of a cell (three cells in total). Org itself does not impose a cell concept on the table: it's just text. How that table gets translated e.g. to HTML is another matter: the current exporter does indeed make it into a 6-cell table, but there is nothing stopping you from enhancing it to do something different. If you do something interesting, you can always contribute it to org. And if you come up with a compelling use case, you might even be able to persuade somebody else to do the work for you !-) HTH, Nick _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
