Dear all,
happy new year to everybody!
I think I might have discovered a bug.
I am preparing some slides using org-beamer mode. Here is the snippet of a
table I have in my file:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :float t :width 4cm
| /Single node app/ | /Distributed app/ |
|-------------------+-----------------------------|
| Operating System | Distributed OS |
| Network | Network programming libs |
| Progr. language | Distributed Progr. language |
|-------------------+-----------------------------|
If I understand well from the documentation, the "width" option should set
the width of the table. However, the exporter produces the following latex
snippet:
\begin{table}[htb]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{4cm}{ll}
\emph{Single node app} & \emph{Distributed app}\\
\hline
Operating System & Distributed OS\\
Network & Network programming libs\\
Progr. language & Distributed Progr. language\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{frame}
Clearly, the lenght specification went in the wrong place, as the first
parameter of tabular should not be the width of the table, but the column
alignment.
I am running the most updated version from git, that is 8.3beta
All the best,
Giuseppe Lipari

I can confirm this (with a version of org a few days old).
One solution, in the meantime, would be to put the table within a
column and use the column width option to limit the width of the table,
removing the :width option for the table. This works although it is not
possible to specific the width of a column directly, only as a function
of \columnwidth [1] so you'll have to play around with the factor to
figure out what width to specify.
HTH.
Footnotes:
[1] as an aside, it seems strange to me to define column widths as a
factor of \columnwidth instead of \textwidth or similar... seems rather
self-referential?

This should be fixed. Thank you for reporting it.

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.

As long as it doesn't generate invalid LaTeX code (like in your bug
report), I think the current :width option can be kept. You don't need
to use it if you don't like it.

I agree, because I successfully use it (specifying the alignment as
well).
Best,
Andreas
