3 Tables  Org comes with a fast and intuitive table editor.
Spreadsheet-like calculations are supported in connection with
the Emacs calc package (see the Emacs Calculator manual for more
information about the Emacs calculator).  Org makes it easy to
format tables in plain ASCII. Any line with ‘|’ as the first
non-whitespace character is considered part of a table. ‘|’ is
also the column separator. A table might look like this:       |
Name  | Phone | Age |      | Peter |  1234 |  17 |      | Anna
|  4321 |  25 |  A table is re-aligned automatically each time
you press <TAB> or <RET> or C-c C-c inside the table. <TAB> also
moves to the next field (<RET> to the next row) and creates new
table rows at the end of the table or before horizontal lines.
The indentation of the table is set by the first line. Any line
starting with ‘|-’ is considered as a horizontal separator line
and will be expanded on the next re-align to span the whole
table width
