Hi all, 

I'm looking for a good way to import HTML tables into org-mode tables. This is 
complicated by the fact that HTML tables can include multi-line data, which 
seems to be functionality not present in org-mode. What I usually end up doing 
is a string of regexp replacements to convert <tr> to linebreaks and <td> to 
vertical bars, but this is tiresome for a functionality that I'm sure is pretty 
frequently needed. I've tried pandoc, but it doesn't seem to handle html tables 
either. Is there an already-existing functionality out there for importing HTML 
tables into org? 

Thanks, 
- Tory
