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). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr Benjamin Slade Dept. of Linguistics, Uni. of Utah pgp fingerprint: 21BA 2AE1 28F6 DF36 110A 0E9C A320 BBE8 2B52 EE19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {sent by mu4e on Emacs running under GNU/Linux} (Choose Linux, Choose Freedom)
