Notes

• There is no need for perfect horizontal alignment: "|" symbols must not necessary be one under another. Just make sure that every table line has the same number of "|"'s.
• Creating and updating text tables is easy in emacs or another text editor supporting ORG-mode. Simple Excel tables can be converted to CSV-format which can be converted into ORG-tables.
