Hi,
I was happy to find out about the possibility to convert a table into
something else, but I struggle with obtaining a particular result. I
have addresses in a table and want them to be formatted for printing.
This is where I am so far.
#+ORGTBL: SEND sofar orgtbl-to-generic :lfmt "%s"
| Vorname | Nachname | Straße | PLZ | Ort |
|---------+------------+-----------------+-------+-------------|
| Karl | Mustermann | Musterstraße 10 | 12345 | Musterstadt |
| Sofie | Musterfrau | Ortsstraße 2 | 54321 | Meinestadt |
#+BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL sofar
(Vorname Nachname Straße PLZ Ort)
(Karl Mustermann Musterstraße 10 12345 Musterstadt)
(Sofie Musterfrau Ortsstraße 2 54321 Meinestadt)
#+END RECEIVE ORGTBL sofar
But I would like to have
#+BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL wished
Vorname Nachname
Straße
PLZ Ort
Karl Mustermann
Musterstraße 10
12345 Musterstadt
Sofie Musterfrau
Ortsstraße 2
54321 Meinestadt
#+END RECEIVE ORGTBL wished
Here (http://www.canonical.org/~kragen/tmp/org-mode-notes) kragen says,
that it works in orgtbl-mode but not in org-mode.
I would be happy, if you could tell me a way to get what I want. But I
think also, that the help text on :lfmt in "orgtbl-to-generic" doesn't
say what happens in my case, so there might be a bug.
:lfmt Format for entire line, with enough %s to capture all fields.
If this is present, :lstart, :lend, and :sep are ignored.
Regards
Gerhard

Reading the documentation, this should be
#+ORGTBL: SEND sofar orgtbl-to-generic :lfmt "%s %s\n%s\n%s %s\n"
to have your expected formatting.
But it seem there is a bug in orgtbl that make this to fail. This very
simple patch seem to do the trick solve this.

Subject: [PATCH] Correctly format orgtbl line when there is a :lfmt argument.
orgtbl-apply-fmt need its arguments not in a line but as direct
argument, we need to call apply
