Among other things, this release provides a way to maintain LaTeX tale using the orgtbl mode. Enjoy! Changes in Version 4.65 ----------------------- * Overview - Orgtbl can be used to maintain tables in LaTeX, and in any other mode - Editing Lisp formulas for table improved. - Better structure for HTML exported tables. - New "calculation" marker "/" to mark lines that should not be exported. * Detailed description of changes - You can use orgtbl mode to maintain a LaTeX table, or pretty much any table in any mode. This does *not* work by making Orgtbl aware of LaTeX syntax. That would be a box of Pandora I am not willing to open. Instead, you use a normal Orgtbl-mode table, and a converter program to automatically place a LaTeX version of the table into the correct spot in the LaTeX file. The orgtbl-mode table can be maintained inside the same file, in a block comment. I am providing a translators for LaTeX, HTML, and TeXInfo. For other applications, you need to write one yourself - but that is not hard if you start from the LaTeX version and just modify it. Please read the manual for details. http://staff.science.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org/org.html#Tables-in- arbitrary-syntax Thanks to Thomas Baumann for triggering this development through a request for a table-to-LaTeX converter. - In the special buffer to edit the formulas of a table (created with "C-c '", there is now better support for editing Lisp formulas. TAB and M-TAB work like in an Emacs Lisp buffer, indenting lines and completing lisp symbols. With the cursor on a line defining a complex Lisp formula, a first press on TAB will convert the formula into a pretty-printed version with proper linebreaks and indentation. A second TAB folds the line back to the compact form. - Tables in HTML export have now additional structure elements defined. The header (before the first hline) is wrapped into .., and each part of the body (as separated in org-mode by hlines) is wrapped into .. tags. I have also changed the CSS style for fields and the value of `org-export-html-table-tag' to get cleaner tables. Basically, tables now have horizontal lines only where needed, and no vertical lines at all, as generally recommended for tables in printed text. I like the new look, but I am not sure if this change will find general approval, please throw in your view if you like. Thanks to Scott for driving this, and to goud-H for pointing me to the row grouping in tables. - In a table with calculation markers in the first column, you can now also put "/" into the first column. It indicates that this line should not be exported. The foremost application for this are lines containing only "" markers for narrowing columns.
