* Org+table.el = mutli line cells? @ 2010-07-01 20:14 John Hendy 2010-07-02 4:37 ` Carsten Dominik 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: John Hendy @ 2010-07-01 20:14 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode [-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 703 bytes --] Hi, I export to variable page widths and would like to be able to specify a limit 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-line 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 Thanks hopefully this is not an idiotic question...

Do I just need to pass some html/css option through #+ATTR_HTML? - Also... stupid me. I meant to specify that I'm looking to do this in LaTeX, not necessarily html, though I'm glad to have knowledge of both. After more reading, this seems pretty doable through the 'p{width}' alignment option which seems to work through #+ATTR_LaTeX to control automatic wrapping in a cell. My remaining question is whether or not it's possible to enable tabular* instead of the default environment as then I could limit both columns and determine table widths. I don't know that tabular seems to have this option?
