Hi,

thanks for responding.
As a matter of fact, I think the :width option for latex tables should be
disabled, because it is not so simple to implement.
While it is possible to reduce the width with Eric's trick, it is not so
easy to enlarge the width without using the :align option and appropriate
latex code, so the simplest approach would be to either give an error upon
exportin, or to ignore the width option altogether.

On the other hand, I guess :width makes sense for other exporters, like
e.g. html or ODT, so it should stay.

Just my two cents.

Giuseppe Lipari
