radio tables in an org buffer

radio tables in an org buffer

Aloha all,

Is it possible to use radio tables and lists inside an org buffer?

I'm writing and tangling LaTeX with Org-babel and it would be useful  
to leverage the LaTeX export capabilities of Org-mode, especially with  
tabular material, which is tedious to format by hand in LaTeX.

Here's what it would look like in the Org-mode buffer:

> * Sales figures table
> #+source: salefigures
> #+begin_src latex
> % BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL salesfigures
> % END RECEIVE ORGTBL salesfigures
> #+end_src
>
>      #+ORGTBL: SEND salesfigures orgtbl-to-latex
>      | Month | Days | Nr sold | per day |
>      |-------+------+---------+---------|
>      | Jan   |   23 |      55 |     2.4 |
>      | Feb   |   21 |      16 |     0.8 |
>      | March |   22 |     278 |    12.6 |
>      #+TBLFM: $4=$3/$2;%.1f
>      % $ (optional extra dollar to keep font-lock happy, see footnote)

All the best,
Tom

This looks as if it should work!

And so it does!  The magic key, which most (all?) on the list probably  
understand already, is to call the function orgtbl-crtl-c-ctrl-c  
directly when the point is in the table.

All the best,
Tom
