Hi,
I have some e-mail addresses in a table that I want to export to pdf
thorugh latex. However, the e-mail addresses do not wrap nicely (not at
all) in the table, is there any way to make the latex export from org
enable wrapping?
Example:
#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=llp{2cm}
| ITEM | Comment | e-mail |
|-------------+----------------+------------------------------|
| Listed item | Some text here | this.email@shouldbe.wrapped |
| | | |
Thanks!

As you are alluding, this is more a latex problem than an org
one. Getting an email address to wrap is difficult. The only solution
I can think of is to suggest a hyphenation point in each email address
you have in the table.
You can suggest hyphenation points using "\-", as in:
| Listed item | Some text here | this.email@\-shouldbe.wrapped |
This works, but is not pretty... but I don't think you have much in the
way of alternative options!
HTH,
eric

The hyperref package provides a LaTeX solution, the briefest of which is
the \url{} command (and the \nolinkurl{} variant).
#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=llp{2cm}
| ITEM | Comment | e-mail |
|------------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------------------|
| ~url~ cmd | e-mail is a dead link | \url{this.email@shouldbe.wrapped} |
| ~nolinkurl~ cmd | e-mail is just text | \nolinkurl{this.email@shouldbe.wrapped} |
| ~mailto:~ syntax | e-mail is an mailto: link | mailto:this.email@shouldbe.wrapped |
*** Notes for the mailto syntax
For the ~mailto:~ syntax to work the variable
~org-export-latex-href-format~ needs to use the ~url~ command instead of
~href~ (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/44911/match=href+latex+link+url)
: (setq org-export-latex-href-format "\url{%s}")
While I prefer the ~mailto:~ syntax as more the `orgmode way', there are
two possible issues:
- config :: It requires a change to *all* LaTeX link exports
- display :: The ~mailto:~ string is also exported
I do not know what other solutions are currently possible to resolve those
issues.

I have now had the time to set this up to enable the "mailto:" syntax. I
agree that the export of the "mailto:" string as well would be nice to
suppress, but this is a minor quirk. Both \url and \nolinkurl are good
options as well to avoid that.
I also learned that the backslash in the setq must be escaped to avoid
raising an error, i.e. i put in my init.el:
: (setq org-export-latex-href-format "\\url{%s}")
Many thanks!
