I'm contemplating writing a linguistics article in orgmode because I
know I will need to provide a doc(x) file (normally I would otherwise
use LaTeX).
One of things I will need to be able to is produce numbered examples
with aligned interlinear glosses (like these:
http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/resources/glossing-rules.php ). It's been a
while since I've done this in a doc(x)-ish format, but the obvious ways
would be (1) to do something with tab alignment or (2) use
borderless/invisible tables.
Can anyone suggest how this (or some other solution to producing
interlinear glosses) might be implemented in an orgmode->odt/doc/docx
setup? One potential solution would be an orgmode setup which produces
borderless tables with an "optimal width" column setting. I don't know
how to do this in orgmode though (or if it can be done currently).

This feature is available only in my private repo.
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using Git see instructions at:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-12/msg00522.html
(Search for "Download")
Once you download and copy the ox-odt.el file, make sure you do
M-x byte-compile-file
to create .elc file.
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using ELPA see instructions at:

(Search for "Untar")
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Identity where your styles files come from. Look at the *Messages*
buffer for clue.
2. Open OrgOdtContentTemplate.xml and find a style named
"CustomTableCell". Edit it so that it has no borders.
Replace this
<style:style style:name="CustomTableCell" style:family="table-cell">
<style:table-cell-properties style:vertical-align="top" fo:background-color="#ffffff" fo:padding="0.097cm" fo:border-left="0.002cm solid #000000" fo:border-right="0.002cm solid #000000" fo:border-top="0.002cm solid #000000" fo:border-bottom="0.002cm solid #000000">
with this:
<style:style style:name="CustomTableCell" style:family="table-cell">
<style:table-cell-properties style:vertical-align="top"
fo:background-color="#ffffff" fo:padding="0.097cm">
3. Create a tables as below. ("GriddedTable" is part of C-h v
`org-odt-table-styles'). WARNING: Don't try to understand the
documentation. I don't it understand it myself.

Feel free to use my ELPA package. I have documented the procedure here
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/81347
Going forward, I will release my packages - ox-odt and org-jabref - via
ELPA tarball. So, ELPA installation will be the recommended method for
accessing my private package.

In Office XML, the style:table-column-properties has
style:use-optimal-column-width="true". Based on my little
experimentation, I find that LibreOffice doesn't honor this setting.
This is the reason why columns are emitted unoptimized.
From LibreOffice UI, if you choose "Optimal Column Width", then the
table columns are emitted NOT with above XML attribute but with
hard-coded on-the-fly widths.
May be someone can take the above issue with LibreOffice folks...

Ignore the above suggestion. It is too tedious. I have flushed out a
fix as part of the following ELPA tar
http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-kjn.git/blob_plain/master:/org-odt-20140124.tar
With this fix, the behaviour of the rules in the ODT table will be much
the same as that in
(info "(org) Tables in ODT export")
except for the following modification:
The ODT table will have top rule (or bottom rule) only if the Org-mode
table has one.
Similarly, ODT table will have left rule (resp. right rule) only if the
leftmost (resp. rightmost) data column has "<" and ">" markers.
----------------------------------------------------------------
To cut the long story short, here is how you produce a borderless table.
Use the :widths and :rel-width property to have the table look compact
and nice.

This table has no rules. It occupies 80% of page width. The columns
will be in the ratio of 4:7:10.
