Hello,
For pedagogical reasons, it would be nice to be able, in some case, to
export a table (to LaTeX typically) with annotations (i.e. column and
row labels) and, more importantly, the equations used to populate the
table. Is this possible somehow?
Obviously, for the row/column labelling, I could simply add an extra
column and row with those labels...
For the TBLFM aspect, thinking aloud but with no real knowledge, would
it be possible to create a filter, say, that maybe copies and transforms
a TBLFM line before being thrown away by the export engine?
Any suggestions welcome.
thanks,
eric

Bastien's table formulas tutorial does it this way:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Column formulas and field formulas
Ok, so now we have this table:
: | Student | Maths | Physics | Mean |
: |----------+-------+---------+------|
: | Bertrand | 13 | 09 | 11 |
: | Henri | 15 | 14 | |
: | Arnold | 17 | 13 | |
: #+TBLFM: @2$4=vmean($2..$3)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Will that work for you?

It would but what I would really like is to have an option I can turn on
to enable me to process the TBLFM line for output but have the table
appear as normal. I don't want to have the table in verbatim.
What I was thinking of is to have essentially a caption below the table
that presents the equations used.

Okay, a start on this using hooks:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun esf/process-table-tblfm (backend)
"Process the TBLFM line to make it available for export as a verbatim block"
(while (re-search-forward "^ *#\\+TBLFM:" (point-max) t)
(replace-match ":")
(let ((start (point))
(end (progn (forward-line) (point))))
(goto-char start)
(while (re-search-forward "::" end t)
(replace-match "\n: ")))
)
)
(add-hook 'org-export-before-parsing-hook 'esf/process-table-tblfm)
#+end_src
I'm sure there's a much easier way to do this but, for now, this does
what I need.
thanks,
eric

You can write a custom back-end. All the TBLFM information is stored in
the table element.
