I'd rather preserve structure of Org documents outside of Emacs. So,
`:align-to' is not an option.
IIUC, I need to replace the closest space from vertical bars with
#(" " 0 1 (space :width 1))
This doesn't sound too difficult.
However, could someone provide tests cases so we get it right once and
for all?
Thank you.
