Hello
The following minimal example shows one possibility to have lists in
a table using LaTeX
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{varwidth}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\begin{varwidth}{\linewidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item this
\item that
\end{itemize}
\end{varwidth}
&
\begin{varwidth}{\linewidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\item 2
\end{itemize}
\end{varwidth}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}
As far as I know orgmode does not support really lists in tables nor
does it allows it to export them.
Are there any plans for the future concerning such a feature?
Rationale: Lists in tables come in handy in this so called SWOT analysis
which I unfortunately have to do in the next future. Orgmode has been a
great help in editing tables in latex, that is why it were great if it
could also support to export lists in tables.
regards

I don't think so. Supporting lists in tables equals to rewrite
org-table.el from scratch.

Wouldn't it be doable (or rather: hackable) using filters?

Hi,
Some time ago I used such a feture in od export. I think it does exist
in ox-odt.el.
Regards,
Martin

probably very difficult, I would guess. Alternatively, you could us
minipages and org special blocks to specify those?
As in:
#+begin_halfpageblock
Strengths:
- large
- simple
- green
#+end_halfpageblock
#+begin_halfpageblock
Opportunities:
- large audience
- no competition
#+end_halfpageblock
etc.
where you define a new halfpageblock environment in LaTeX. See result
discussion on this list about defining environments. (I'm offline at
the moment)
HTH,

That is interesting, I could not get your example to work, but this is
due to lack of knowledge from my side. I will look into this in the
coming days. Thanks for pointing it out!

Try the attached. I've put the individual boxes in actual drawn boxes
which may look silly if the boxes have different heights...

Very cool, thanks a lot, this is almost what I want!
I will try to make it work with the solution as proposed by
http://www.mostlycolor.ch/2015/07/swot-matrices-in-latex.html
In case you are interested :-D

Interesting. If you want to get this approach to work with org, you are
more likely to need to put in the LaTeX directives into the org file
directly instead of the solution I suggested:
#+latex: \begin{tcbraster}[raster columns=2, boxrule=0mm, arc=0mm]
#+latex: \begin{tcolorbox}[equal height group=A, size=fbox, colback=swotS!60, colframe=swotS!80!black, title=\textsc{strengths}]
- business 1
- business 2
etc. as I believe it would be difficult to pass options to org special
blocks. But maybe others can chime in: can ATTR_LATEX, for instance, be
used to specify options for a #+BEGIN_XXXX block?

Yes.
#+attr_latex: :options [foo]
#+begin_bar
x
#+end_bar
