This package provides some convenient commands for filling a table, i.e., adjusting the layout of the table so it can fit in n columns.

Commands provided:

• ftable-fill :: Fill the table at point

• ftable-reformat :: Change the style of the table. For example, from #+begin_example ASCII +--+--+ to Unicode ┌──┬──┐ | | | │ │ │ +--+--+ └──┴──┘ #+end_example

• ftable-edit-cell :: Edit the cell at point

There are some limitations. Currently ftable doesn’t support tables with compound cells (cells that span multiple rows/columns) because they are more complicated to handle. If the need arises in the future (unlikely), I might improve ftable to handle more complex tables. Also, after filling, any manual line-break in a cell is discarded.

• ftable-fill-column :: ~fill-column~ for ftable.
