A number of problems on that:
 - when I have a text that is block aligned the ascii tends to have 2 spaces 
in the middle of sentences, it is not nice to start a table there.
 - After [,.:;] signs it is common to type multiple spaces as well.

Yes, I knew about the multiple spaces problem. It's very common 
in some places to use two spaces after a sentence. I will have to 
fix this somehow in the next version.



It seems you got a long way in quite a short time. Hope this helps you put 
more functionality in an already very good import filter ;)

You gave me some good hints on how to rework the filter. I didn't 
understand tables very well. I will work it some more and maybe I'll 
have a better one before Florida finishes counting votes. That 
should give me four years :).

Thanks for the hints.
