Subject: orgtbl-to-latex :splice t :skip x does not radio empty first column
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:57:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FD8FEC7.5030103@verizon.net> (raw)

I have searched "radio table", "skip" and "splice" and have attempted to 
understand some of the code in org-table.el concerning orgtbl-to-latex; 
all with no luck.
If there is an post or answer or solution that already exist please 
advise and I'll keep on looking.

I am setting up a document the format of which is required.  Different 
source files will be used. As an example:

Table to radio:

TBLNAME: SCHEDA1
#+ORGTBL: SEND SCHEDA1 orgtbl-to-latex  :splice t :skip 2
| Date | Description                            | Value | Basis | Loss |
| -------+---------------------------------------+---------+--  
-----+--------|
|          | None                                      |   0.00 |  0.00 
| 0.00 |
|          | Total Gains on sales, etc.     |            |           | 
0.00 |

#+TBLFM: @>$>=vsum(@2..-1);%.2f::$5=vsum($3-$4);%.2f

Target table much further down:

Schedule A-1
\begin{tabulary}{parameters}
Date & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Transaction} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Proceeds} & 
\multicolumn{1}{c}{Basis} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Gain}\\
\hline \hline
% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL SCHEDA1
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL SCHEDA1
\end{tabulary}

Result after C-c C-c on SCHEDA1

\begin{tabulary}{parameters}
Date & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Transaction} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Proceeds} & 
\multicolumn{1}{c}{Basis} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Gain}\\
\hline \hline
% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL SCHEDA1
None & 0.00 & 0.00 & 0.00 \\
Total Gains on sales, etc. & & & 0.00 \\
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL SCHEDA1
\end{tabulary}

As you will observe, the empty column is not radioed, i.e. there is no 
"&" preceding the "None" and the "Total Gains . . . ." AFAIC, it should 
be unnecessary to enter something in the original first column prior to 
sending just to have orgtbl-to-latex correctly radio what should be an 
empty column. At the moment the only hack or kludge (pardon me if I use 
these incorrectly) is to place the "&" prior to "None" and "Total" after 
conversion to LaTeX.  Again, however, this also should not be necessary 
in the first place, i.e. | | foo| bar| should yield & & foo & bar \\

Anyway,  Texworks typesets this as

Date                            Transaction            Proceeds        
Basis        Gain
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
(the two \hlines are printed)
None                            0.00                        0.00        
         0.00
Total Gains on sales                                                    
        0.00

For reasons that are not germane, I want to radio only the "data" rows 
from the original ORGTBL, i.e. no headings or hlines since these will be 
provided in what is essentially a LaTeX template.
Also, the table cannot be omitted from the account.
