Talking of migration to org-export.el/org-e-odt.el, indented tables pose special challenges because a list has to be broken and continued. It poses *more* challenges if I add "listified headlines" to the mix. Nicolas, Given the above context, one enhancmenet request that I have for you is this: Can the org-export driver make listified headings transparent to the backend? Currently listified headings are handled within org-e-backend-headline through first-sibling and last sibling checks and the backends *do know* that it is handling a headline in a special way. If you have reservations in considering the above request, I believe handling of indented tables will be fragmented across plain-list/item callbacks and headline callbacks. Note that I am not saying that it is not doable but only that it requires some deliberate effort and extra code. > Regards, -- --=-=-= Content-Type: text/x-org Content-Disposition: inline; filename=indented-table.org * Table within a Table Indented tables in ODT discontinue and continue a list. - Item1 - Item2 - Item2.1 | 1 | 2 | | 3 | 4 | - Item2.2 - Item3 * COMMENT XML for above table Here you can see table is syntactically outside of a list.
