[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 335 bytes --] Hey everyone, Is there a way to get org to wrap text within a table cell? I want to be able to enter long text entries into cells without expanding column width. Also, is there a way to merge cells—say, three cells vertically? Finally, orgtbl-mode is broken in markdown-mode. Does anyone know a solution? Thanks, Pater [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 433 bytes --]

This question sounded familiar, so I dug up this ancient post from the list which offers some answers: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/10478 The link to the manual in the email is broken. The relevant section of the manual is: 3.2 Column width and alignment (info "(org) Column width and alignment") Best, Matt

Whenever I have tables of any complexity, I end up doing them manually with tabular inside a #+begin_latex section. If you find a solution, I'd love to hear it! Perhaps there's a quicker way of using org-table placeholders and then doing some quick tweak to the .tex file generated rather than me doing the whole thing in LaTeX.
