Re: [OT] Text Editor that Does Tables?

I enter a lot of tables as C-language comments. I use vertical bars and so

A typical table might be a Boolean function, or a list of I/O pins and how
they are assigned. 2-100 rows is typical, and 2-5 columns is typical.

Widening columns is a huge headache, as I have to do every row of the table
(sometimes hundreds of lines). I use a SlickEdit macro repeatedly, but even
then it is a huge job.

Is there a text editor out there (or a feature of SlickEdit I'm unaware of)
that supports ASCII tables directly?

And, since nobody yet mentioned it, and because the word 'emacs' has
fallen, I'm suggesting the vim editor for All Your Editing Needs.
