Hi,


I export to variable page widths and would like to be able to specify a lim= it on my tables which seem to always run on as long as they need to without= regard for any margins or borders. I found a post here where a user asked = the question I was looking for: http://www.mail-archive.= com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg22353.html

So... table.el (as I have since found during fiddling) does create multi-li= ne cells, which is awesome.

I can't find any documentation for it, though?? I am just looking for [= hopefully] basic/easy things like:

- bold a cell (*word* doesn't seem to work in table.el tables)
- limit the overall width of the table

Formatting inside table.el cells does not work because this is a completely=
different export mechanism.

To fix the width of a table (normal Org-mode table), see
