I have forwarded this mail to David O'Toole, to find out if he still
feels responsible for changes in org-publish.  Lets wait if he responds.

Do you mean down to a cell in the current column, or down to the first
cell in the row below the newly inserted hline?

No.  The org-mode tables are deeply rooted on the fact that a cell
covers only a single line.  Much of the easy and speed in operating the
table editor depends on it, and I don't want to compromise on that.

You have two options:

1.  Make a table using the table.el package.  The HTML exporter does
     export such tables correctly.  table.el is really good at what
     it does, which is creating tables just like your example above.
     But when you use it, you immediately feel the overhead that is
     associated with a complex table structure like this.

2.  You can spread the content of a long cell over several lines
     by hand, org-mode helps with several commands like M-RET to
     split a field in the middle and put the second half into the
     next row, or C-c C-q which wraps a long cell over a couple
     of rows.  However, these commands do not change the fact that
     org-mode sees each line as a new row and will export like that.

I guess this is not very well though-out, and maybe it would be good
to simply export the text before the first heading.
That TEXT is not HTML processed I would also consider as
a bug, but I know that some have made clever use of this bug
to insert custom HTML into a file.  This is now no loger
necessary since you can embed protected HTML with special commands.

Hmmm, not clear to me how exactly this should be done.  Should we
cast a vote for exporting text before the first heading?

> * *[[link]]* are not boldified when exported to HTML.

No it does not.  Should it?  What is the purpose of making
some links bold? Are you thinking about internal or
external links?  Would CSS maybe be a better place to address
formatting of links?

Sounds resonable.

I cannot reproduce this.  Could you make an example file and show the
.ics entry you get?  Thanks!
