Bug: Table alignment [8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @ /usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/org/)]

[Jay Belanger]

I was trying to get table elements to align left when exported to html,
and I was having a bit of trouble doing it.   I had a table entry
at the top
  | <l>   |
in the appropriate column, but that wasn't working.
When I looked at the resulting html, it looked fine:
    <th scope="col" class="left">Math Department</th>
But then I checked the css code, which is given by the value of 
`org-html-style-default' in ox-html.el:

  th.right  { text-align: center;  }
  th.left   { text-align: center;   }
  th.center { text-align: center; }
  td.right  { text-align: right;  }
  td.left   { text-align: left;   }
  td.center { text-align: center; }

(It's this way in emacs 24.5 and the latest development version of emacs.)
Easy to change locally, but am I missing something, or should
`org-html-style-default' have

  th.right  { text-align: right;  }
  th.left   { text-align: left;   }
  th.center { text-align: center; }
  td.right  { text-align: right;  }
  td.left   { text-align: left;   }
  td.center { text-align: center; }

Thanks,
Jay

Indeed that looks weird.  It seems to be a stylistic hack to have
*headers* always centered.  I have no clue why.

I guess it should, but I don't know the rational for the always-centering
of headers. . .  If we imposed that change headlines of tables with no
instructions would no longer be centered as they default to the "left"
class.  This could be an issue if this is a good default style...

Not use if this belongs in the same thread,  but another potential issue
with the" left" and "right" classes is a namespace clash with external css
frameworks which use those classes to assign float values.  I export to
WordPress using a zurb foundation based css framework,  and my tables were
all messed up until I figured that out.

Bug: org-toggle-heading breaks with double colon '::' list items.

[Leo Ufimtsev]

Hello, 

If I have a list with colons like:

- List a ::
  Cheese 
  Bannana 
- List b :: 
  Pineapples 
  Tomatoes 

If I then select the entire list and call org-toggle-headings, then I would *expect* this:

* List a 
  Cheese 
  Bannana
* List b 
  Pineapples 
  Tomatoes

But instead the first item is placed on the same line as the heading:
* List a Cheese 
  Bannana
* List b Pineapples 
  Tomatoes

This is happens only with items that have colons. A workaround is not to use colons or add a dot after the colons, e.g
- List a :: .
  Cheese 

The use case is that I often start making lists, but as things grow turn them into headings.

I'm on Emacs 25.0.50.4 (~3 weeks old) and my org-mode is from this morning (8.3beta). 

Please advise.

Thank you

Leo

I don't know what e.g. zurb foundation means, but perhaps something like
the attached fixes your problem.  It's probably a good idea not to use
generic names like "left" as class names anyway.

Re: Bug: org-return-indent does not work properly with description lists (i.e ending with double colon)

[Leo Ufimtsev]

Hello, 

If I have a list item with a double colon, with the cursor at the end:like:

- Hello World :: |


And press C-c (org-return-indent), then the cursor is at position 0 on the next line:

- Hello World :: 
|

But based on the behavior of a regular list item, one would expect it to be on position 2 like:

- Hello World :: 
  |

The current workaround is to have something after the colon. 
- Hello World :: . |
then it indents correctly.

Using Emacs 25.0.50.4 w/ org-mode from this morning.

Thank you

Leo
