When I export tables to ASCII, I'd like the rows to expand as necessary so the
full contents is visible. I've has a look at org-exp.el, but I'm at a bit of a
loss as to where to start mucking in. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Michael,
right now I only have a dirty trick, and even that is untested.... :-(
(add-hook 'org-export-preprocess-hook
(lambda ()
(let (org-format-transports-properties-p)
(org-table-map-tables 'org-table-align))))
I will make a varaible for this, I think it would be useful to have,
or even should be the default for ASCII export.....

Hi Michael,
this behavior is now the default, controlled by the new user option
`org-export-ascii-table-widen-columns'.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. That's a start, but what I really want is to have long cells folded, so
that one table row might become several lines in the ASCII export. For example,
if my table looks like this in org:
| / | <10R> | <20> |
| | 1 | The quick brown fo=> |
| | 2 | Now is the time for |
I want my ASCII export to look like this:
1 The quick brown fox
jumped over the lazy
dogs.
2 Now is the time for
all good me to come
to the aid of the
party.
I've started looking at org-table-align to get a feel for how org deals with
tables, but I'm still trying to puzzle out where this folding should be done.
Any advice on that?
Thanks,
Mike

No, this is not possible.
For multi-line fields, please check out table.el, which makes such
tables. And Org does export them correctly.

Hi everyone,
a few recent threads alerted me to the fact that the support for
table.el tables was totally broken in recent versions of Org-mode.
While I don't use this, I think it is a very nice feature to have.
Support for table.el tables is now restored, with the following
important changes.
1. You cannot edit these tables in the buffer, you must
use C-c ' (the same command that also edit source code snippets)
2. LaTeX export apparently never did support these tables. Now it does,
including #+CAPTION, #+LABEL, and some ATTL_LaTeX settings (e.g.
align)
I hope this proves to be useful.
