Full description

This package provides some convenient commands for filling a table, i.e., adjusting the layout of the table so it can fit in n columns.

Commands provided:

ftable-fill
Fill the table at point
ftable-reformat
Change the style of the table. For example, from
ASCII +--+--+ to Unicode ┌──┬──┐
      |  |  |            │  │  │
      +--+--+            └──┴──┘
ftable-edit-cell
Edit the cell at point

There are some limitations. Currently ftable doesn’t support tables with compound cells (cells that span multiple rows/columns) because they are more complicated to handle. If the need arises in the future (unlikely), I might improve ftable to handle more complex tables. Also, after filling, any manual line-break in a cell is discarded.
