org: Orgtbl mode

 
 3.4 The Orgtbl minor mode
 =========================
 
 If you like the intuitive way the Org table editor works, you might also
 want to use it in other modes like Text mode or Mail mode.  The minor
 mode Orgtbl mode makes this possible.  You can always toggle the mode
 with ‘M-x orgtbl-mode RET’.  To turn it on by default, for example in
 Message mode, use
 
      (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'turn-on-orgtbl)
 
    Furthermore, with some special setup, it is possible to maintain
 tables in arbitrary syntax with Orgtbl mode.  For example, it is
 possible to construct LaTeX tables with the underlying ease and power of
 Orgtbl mode, including spreadsheet capabilities.  For details, see 
 Tables in arbitrary syntax.
