I've recently moved from using TextMate to using Vim a lot more (because I split my time between Mac and Linux). One thing I miss is the wonderful MultiMarkdown bundle which, amongst other features, lets me enter tables in MultiMarkdown syntax and then reformats them so they look pretty.
So, for example this:
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 |
| --: | -- | -- |
| 1 | Some text | Some other text |
| 2 | A somewhat longer piece of text | Further text |
Becomes this:
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 |
| --------: | ------------------------------- | --------------- |
| 1 | Some text | Some other text |
| 2 | A somewhat longer piece of text | Further text |
The closest thing I've found to this is table_format.vim, but it's pretty old and uses spaces instead of vertical bars to delimit columns.
Is there anything better out there to reformat tables like these in Vim?
