I agree. I'm now making table formating on org-mode and literate computing on Grafoscopio. If I need to prioritize a feature that would attract more diverse users to Leo would be literate computing. That has been our case with Grafoscopio and our Data Week hackathon+workshop[1] have participants from several life venues and disciplines: Jorunalism, philosophy, communication studies, developers, teachers, students, among others. They're more attracted by the interactive data storytelling features that by table formating.

If I would have to choose only one feature to be enabled in Leo 5.6 that would be literate computing (even if is limited "only" to Python).

While it would be pretty great to have full auto-reformatting ascii org-mode tables my inclination is that there are higher priority org-mode features that should be tackled first (for example, functionality enabling literate programming).

    I use Leo primarily as an information manager (as well as for
    writing LaTeX), and I very frequently need to capture some tabular
    information. For me this would be a central feature for Leo as
    PIM. (It's actually what kept me from switching from Emacs/OrgMode
    to Leo for several months. Now I use Leo anyway, but keep larger
    sections of tabular data in LibreOffice Calc or SQLite, or use
    some plain text separator in a node body. Both of these
    workarounds are suboptimal.)

    So I'm hoping it's important to others as well, and will turn out
    to be doable!

    In any case, it's very nice to see all the recent activity.

        Thanks. I will read both ;-).
