Tables look like:
|-------+---------+-------+-------------|
| | | | |
|-------+---------+-------+-------------|
| | | | |
|-------+---------+-------+-------------|
So to keep it simple it could be done so that lines that start with a
'|', or where the first non-white-space character is a '|' the line is
not wrapped. Any pointers how to create this?
