Re: orgmode tables

[Mark Barton <mbarton98@gmail.com>]

I always forget the command to add columns, so I usually just modify the header row to add them to the end by using the "|" character to separate them. Once I press tab, then Org will correct the table.

started with two columns
| one | two |
|-----+-----|
|   1 |   2 |

add two more to the header line
| one | two | three | four|
|-----+-----|
|   1 |   2 |

press tab to have org correct the table.
| one | two | three | four |
|-----+-----+-------+------|
|   1 |   2 |       |      |
