+Usually, I have no issue with the alignment of the tables I write in
+org-mode and (more rarely) Markdown. However, there are occurences
+where I’ll use a character that does not exactly respect my monospace
+font, which messes with the alignment of the table (often when I do
+linguistics stuff). A solution to this is the package ~valign~. A little
+caveat though, as its name implies ~valign~ helps with vertical
+alignment. If some lines are too high, they won’t exactly fit. Unless?
