table-recognize

table-recognize is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in `table.el'.

It is bound to <menu-bar> <tools> <Table> <Recognize> <in Buffer>.

(table-recognize &optional ARG)

Recognize all tables within the current buffer and activate them.
Scans the entire buffer and recognizes valid table cells. If the
optional numeric prefix argument ARG is negative the tables in the
buffer become inactive, meaning the tables become plain text and loses
all the table specific features.
