In many cases it is possible to "fake" multiline columns e.g., | first | second | |------------------------+-----------------------------------------| | some text here which | | | is so long I'd like | | | it wrapped | | |------------------------+-----------------------------------------| | some shorter text here | | |------------------------+-----------------------------------------| | | for simple display this works | | | although I agree the contents won't be | | | treated as a single cell by spreadsheet | | | formula | FWIW the lack of multiline cells used to bother me about org-mode tables, but now I hardly notice their absence, and don't know how I would use them if they were (with some syntax) supported.
