Well. I'm still not sure why plain lists should have their own indentation. In that case, tables, latex-environments, etc. should too. Though, you can still configure what you want with an appropriate filter: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-plain-list-functions (lambda (plain-list back-end) (if (not (eq back-end 'e-ascii)) plain-list (replace-regexp-in-string "^" " " plain-list)))) #+end_src >>> No, I mean that this is a useful way to send things to people who use >>> proportional fonts. >> >> But in the simplest cases, tables will look ugly with proportional >> fonts, no matter if you use tabs or not.

I understand. You may want to test this advice, which will convert a table to tsv if "#+attr_ascii: tsv" is set above the table. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defadvice org-e-ascii-table (around table-tsv) (if (or (not (member "tsv" (org-element-get-property :attr_ascii table))) (eq (org-element-get-property :type table) 'table.el)) ad-do-it (setq ad-return-value (orgtbl-to-tsv (org-table-to-lisp (org-element-get-property :raw-table table)) nil)))) #+end_src Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
