Re: resize table in latex

[Zhihao Ding <zhihao.ding@imm.ox.ac.uk>]

Thanks very much for your reply. The proposed method 
in this reply won’t work. It needs to be in the following
structure where this line 

 “\scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{“

is after “\begin{table}[htb]” and immediately before 
“\begin{tabular}{rr}”. 

I don’t know how to achieve that in the org syntax. 

\begin{table}[htb]
\caption[caption]{\label{tablelabel} caption}
\centering

\scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
\begin{tabular}{rr}
1 & 4 \\
\end{tabular}
}}

\end{table}

Thanks, 
Zhihao
