Hi,
I would like to manipulate cells in an org-mode table using Emacs lisp
code. Suppose I have a function (FORMAT-CELL CELL ROW COL) that takes a
cell (string), row and column numbers, and returns a new string if I
want to replace content in a cell, and NIL otherwise.
I need help with writing code that makes Emacs walk the table (all
cells), and then the new row when I insert a row (eg after capture).
For example, if my formatting function is
(defun format-cell (cell row col)
;; toy example, actual code would be more complicated
(when (<= (length cell) col)
(concat "*" cell "*")))
then the table
| a | a |
| aa | aa |
| aaa | aaa |
would be replaced by
| *a* | *a* |
| aa | *aa* |
| aaa | aaa |
I need the replacement in place, I don't want to make a new table. I
would like to re-align the table when done.
Any help with this would be appreciated, in particular, the names of the
functions that would help me get started, I could not figure this out.
Best,
Tamas
