Hi Carsten, I needed to convert a bunch of tab delimited data into a table today for an email and I knew there was a function to do this so I went to the PDF documentation for Org-mode version 5.17a
It says I can select the region to be converted into a table and then hit C-c | to convert it to a table but I get this error instead of the expected behaviour: orgtbl-error: This key is has no function outside tables Now I'm actually trying to do this outside of regular org-mode - when composing a mail message using orgstruct-mode and orgtbl-mode as minor modes. In my *.org buffers C-c | works great. Is there a way to do this without converting the data to a table in org mode and then cutting and pasting it back to the email I'm composing? Bernt PS - here's a patch for the error message text above: --- diff --git a/org.el b/org.el index 9d99e98..4e2e4f9 100644 --- a/org.el +++ b/org.el @@ -7476,7 +7476,7 @@ off orgstruct-mode will *not* remove these additonal settings."
