As a "workaround" I use this: | x | first letter | | y | the greek | | | \ letter | | | \ ypsilon | | | z still empty | | t | x, y, z and t | This is almost perfect except the real pain for the manual rewrap when changing the text. The difficulty I see here is to define, how do I want to indicate the top and bottom edge and width of the cell? Probably by padding the separators +---+---+ and defining the column width <9> if they are not already there. But since I would like to optionally remove the separators again after the change, it would be necessary to have some indentation like I did with `\ ' and which should not conflict with alignment. 2) One could like to have configurable left/right alignment, even combinable with column width, e. g. | | | | 3.14 | 0x10 | | 3.141592=> | 0x32 0x10 | 3) One could like to have decimal point alignment | 432.10 | | 5'432.1 |
