For text table I often have tasks that should be applied to say every other row. Recently, for example I needed to apply \multiolumn{1}{l}{\1} to every cell of every other row. The latex function of Hmisc and xtable does a nice job of making 'programable' changes tables easy. * Knitr-like (babel + org) There is a new package Knitr, a Sweave replacement. It does a nice work of working perfectly out of the box. For example inline-number expressions are formatted to a limited number of sign, it is very easy to use tikz-device (for R), which ensures consistent fonts. Code-blocks are automatically nicely formatted etc. I would be interesting if Org could be made more dwim in this manner (for many languages). * Better item handling At the moment it is hard to change lists. Often I need inline items and interrupted list. This is hard to do with Org at the moment. –Rasmus -- Enought with the bla bla!
