Subject: Aligned glosses in orgmode (for export to odt/doc)
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:07:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fvogeyi9.fsf@jnanam.net> (raw)

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).
