Subject: Using a table value within the text (dynamic variable)?
Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2013 20:59:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130409195910.GA4368@localhost> (raw)
I was wondering if it was possible at all to use like a "variable" within a
document that would reference a table cell, and could then be
dynamically updated when the table cell was?
The reason I ask is that I would like to have have tabular data held
in another document and then write my document referencing and
including the data within the text, so I only have to change the
external data and the document would be updated automatically.
Example...
#+TBLNAME: example
|-----+-----|
| Foo | Bar |
|-----+-----|
| 22 | 43 |
| 44 | 54 |
|-----+-----|

vehicula lobortis sem, ut viverra lorem elementum quis. Etiam ac lacus
eu ante molestie vehicula. Maecenas sed viverra sem. Proin mattis
fermentum orci, sed tempus nibh feugiat eget.

Thoughts?
