To: Org Mode
I am using Org mode for presentation and would like to use it's tables
for presentation only.
In particular I need the function org-table-align to align the table
in presentation mode.
The Org buffer is updated with results of the below embedded
functions. I can't use Org mode directly as many various expenses are
connected to together.
If it is possible to "jump backwards to Org table" and invoke
org-table-align, I could do that with subsequent function, is it?
This is what is being processed:
------------- snippet
⟦ (ignore (setq my-total 0)) ⟧
⟦ (ignore (defun my-add (n) (setq my-total (+ my-total n)) n)) ⟧
** Monthly Expenses
| Description | Value |
|------------------------------------------+----------------------|
| Communications and Reporting Officer I/C | ⟦ (my-add 600000) ⟧ |
| Prospecting Staff member | ⟦ (my-add 450000) ⟧ |
| Prospecting Staff member | ⟦ (my-add 450000) ⟧ |
| Food for workers on project | ⟦ (my-add 900000) ⟧ |
| Transport Expenses | ⟦ (my-add 1000000) ⟧ |
| Rental | ⟦ (my-add 300000) ⟧ |
|------------------------------------------+----------------------|
| TOTAL | ⟦ my-total ⟧ |
------------- snippet
This is what I get in presentation:
| Description | Value |
|------------------------------------------+----------------------|
| Communications and Reporting Officer I/C | 600000 |
| Prospecting Staff member | 450000 |
| Prospecting Staff member | 450000 |
| Food for workers on project | 900000 |
| Transport Expenses | 1000000 |
| Rental | 300000 |
|------------------------------------------+----------------------|
| TOTAL | 3700000 |
other solution could be to iterate over Org tables to align them.
Anything that exists currently?

I am not sure if I understand your use-case, but you may consider
looking at 3.2 Column Width and Alignment section of the manual.
#+STARTUP: align
will align all the tables when opening an Org file.
Babel also auto-aligns tables in results.
Or you can call org-table-align manually.
Also, see org-table-map-tables.

Indeed.

Yes, I look inside.
My use case is that Org buffer is used for presentation purpose, it is
not a file, it is generated buffer. This means tables cannot be
aligned before, but after, as the Org buffer does not exist before, it
exists only after rendering.
Then I look in the code by searching for variable
`org-startup-align-all-tables', and I find this within `define-derived-mode':
(unless org-inhibit-startup
(org-unmodified
(when org-startup-with-beamer-mode (org-beamer-mode))
(when (or org-startup-align-all-tables org-startup-shrink-all-tables)
(org-table-map-tables
(cond ((and org-startup-align-all-tables
org-startup-shrink-all-tables)
(lambda () (org-table-align) (org-table-shrink)))
(org-startup-align-all-tables #'org-table-align)
(t #'org-table-shrink))
t))
And I think such larger definitions shall rather be split into smaller
useful functions.
For myself I have made this, which I need to additonally invoke via M-x then it works:
(defun rcd-org-table-align-all ()
(interactive)
(read-only-mode 0)
(org-table-map-tables
(lambda () (org-table-align) (org-table-shrink))
t)
(read-only-mode 1))
> #+STARTUP: align
> will align all the tables when opening an Org file.
And in this case I would like it on the end initialization, not
before. But problem is temporarily solved for Org mode by using M-x
rcd-org-table-align-all as my presentation buffer is in read only mode.
Org has nicer table in its source. Asciidoctor does not have, but then
Asciidoctor renders better PDF tables. So I am now using both
versions, Org and Asciidoctor.
⟦ (ignore (setq my-total 0)) ⟧
⟦ (ignore (defun my-add (n) (setq my-total (+ my-total n))
(format "UGX %s" n))) ⟧
== Monthly Expenses
[cols="4,>1"]

| Description | Value
| Communications and Reporting Officer I/C | ⟦ (my-add 600000) ⟧
| Prospecting Staff member | ⟦ (my-add 450000) ⟧

Would it be possible to put Org as Babel source, so that I have Org
table inside of Babel and cause Babel to render automatically on the
end of buffer rendering and invocation of org derived mode?

You are, indeed, right. Patches welcome :)

Yes.
