Hi Bastien,
Really appreciate your help here. The reason I asked this question is
because I always feel it's too complicated to edit a table with
table.el. Your suggestion is good for me. :) But there are sometimes
also need to draw a table as below:
|-------+-------+----------------|
| | HEAD2 | Item 1 |
| +-------+----------------|
| HEAD1 | | Item 2 |
| + HEAD3 |----------------|
| | | Item 3 |
|-------+-------+----------------|
For such a kind of situation, we only can implement with table.el,
right?
Really thanks for all your kind help. :)
