Hi,

I just had a need to use the +BEGIN_EXAMPLE marker, and I found that if I have a directory tree listing like this:

+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
   +---bin
   |   +---decoder_a.exe
   |   +---decoder_b.exe
   |   +---encoder.exe
   +---doc
+END_EXAMPLE


It will be treated (and font-locked) as a table. Not really a a big deal unless I press the "Tab" key on it. Just want to report it in the hope that it is a snap for Carsten to fix it. :-)

No, this in not easy to fix. The table commands are all context- sensitive, each command needs to test if the cursor is currently in a table - I do not want to mack this test more complicated that necessary. Right now it only checks if the first character in a line is "|". Going back to search for BEGIN_EXAMPLE would significantly more elaborate and slow down table editing.
