Hello michael,

Org recognizes the last two lines as a genuine Org table (with two
rows), not as a collection of vertical bars having a completely
different meaning.

Making the export more robust by gracefully handling unequal
numbers of columns won't help you as I guess you wish to have the
vertical bars exported verbatim (which Org won't do).

Your best bet is probably to choose an unreserved character for use in
the graphics, possibly just before exporting.  Unicode code point
0xFFE4 FULLWIDTH BROKEN BAR looks similar.

Regards

Thomas
