Yes, I look inside.
My use case is that Org buffer is used for presentation purpose, it is
not a file, it is generated buffer. This means tables cannot be
aligned before, but after, as the Org buffer does not exist before, it
exists only after rendering.
Then I look in the code by searching for variable
`org-startup-align-all-tables', and I find this within `define-derived-mode':
(unless org-inhibit-startup
(org-unmodified
(when org-startup-with-beamer-mode (org-beamer-mode))
(when (or org-startup-align-all-tables org-startup-shrink-all-tables)
(org-table-map-tables
(cond ((and org-startup-align-all-tables
org-startup-shrink-all-tables)
(lambda () (org-table-align) (org-table-shrink)))
(org-startup-align-all-tables #'org-table-align)
(t #'org-table-shrink))
t))
And I think such larger definitions shall rather be split into smaller
useful functions.
For myself I have made this, which I need to additonally invoke via M-x then it works:
(defun rcd-org-table-align-all ()
(interactive)
(read-only-mode 0)
(org-table-map-tables
(lambda () (org-table-align) (org-table-shrink))
t)
(read-only-mode 1))
> #+STARTUP: align
> will align all the tables when opening an Org file.
And in this case I would like it on the end initialization, not
before. But problem is temporarily solved for Org mode by using M-x
rcd-org-table-align-all as my presentation buffer is in read only mode.
Org has nicer table in its source. Asciidoctor does not have, but then
Asciidoctor renders better PDF tables. So I am now using both
versions, Org and Asciidoctor.
⟦ (ignore (setq my-total 0)) ⟧
⟦ (ignore (defun my-add (n) (setq my-total (+ my-total n))
(format "UGX %s" n))) ⟧
== Monthly Expenses
[cols="4,>1"]

Would it be possible to put Org as Babel source, so that I have Org
table inside of Babel and cause Babel to render automatically on the
end of buffer rendering and invocation of org derived mode?
