I think the issue is that you have missed = assigning a column (the 3rd) to a group.  Also, to simplify things, = as stated no the link you gave, you can just specify the start of column = groups.  Something like the following should work as = expected:

* head
  | / =         | <           =         |<    | <   = |
  | some text | and some more       | d = e | fg  |
  |           | =                     | =     |     = |

I am = trying to make (and understand!) column groups for html = export
According to http://orgmode.org/manual/Column-groups.html = having a line starting / and then showing < for group start and group = end makes column groups.

When I make and org file containing these 4 lines:

* = head
  | /         | = <           &nbs= p;     > |     | < > = |
  | some text | and some = more       | d e | fg  |
  = |           = |            &= nbsp;        = |     |     |

all that happens on export is that the / < > etc literally = appear in the export!

Is there something else I should = study?
