Hi all, posting in case this is useful to someone else: I just figured out how to copy & paste tabular data from Firefox to an Org buffer (in my case: a train schedule from www.bahn.de). - Select data in Firefox - Paste into Org, select it as the region - M-x replace-regexp <RET> C-i \ | ^ <RET> | <RET> C-i inserts a tab character (you can also use C-q <TAB> instead). We replace each beginning of a line and each tab character with "|". - Place the cursor on the table and press C-c C-c to align it _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
