Something along these lines: #+ORGTBL: SEND multicol orgtbl-to-latex :splice t :skip 0 :hline "\\midrule" | | a | b | c | |---+---+-------------+---| | 1 | | mc(2)(c)(3) | | | | 2 | mc(2)(c)(4) | | Would produce % % BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL multicol & a & b & c\NN \midrule 1 & & \multicolumn{2}{c}{3} & \NN & 2 & \multicolumn{2}{c}{4} & \LL % END RECEIVE ORGTBL multicol The reason being that I would like to use \multicolumn often in the middle of an orgtbl. My workarounds with manually inserting the LaTeX macro are clumsy. I understood that users should write their own conversion functions. If I was going to try my fresh elisp fu, I wanted to ask here whether there exists a generic orgtbl syntax to implement the above intercell modification. I read the doc for version 7.5 but maybe there are also new methods in the dev version which I freshly use. Kind Regards, Michael Bach
