Re: Best way to template a big table

[Lawrence Bottorff]

I just figured out that this 

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results table
'((H1 H2 H3) (text11 text12 text13) (text21 text22 text23) (... ... ...) (textN1 textN2 textN3))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| H1     | H2     | H3     |
| text11 | text12 | text13 |
| text21 | text22 | text23 |
| ...    | ...    | ...    |
| textN1 | textN2 | textN3 |

is probably a better way all around, i.e., "best practice." If any one knows how to get the horizontal lines added in. . . .

Not sure about 'best practice', but yasnippet works well.
