org export to latex tables, with hlines and |

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

When I use
orgtab radio tables in latex files with orgtbl minor mode enabled
the following template



 '(orgtbl-radio-table-templates
   (quote
    ((latex-mode "% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL %n
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL %n
\\begin{comment}
#+ORGTBL: SEND %n orgtbl-to-latex  :lend \"\\\\\\\\ \\\\hline\" :environment tabular
|/|<>|
| |  |
\\end{comment}
")


Does precisely what I want. Now I want the same behavior if I edit a
table in a org buffer and export it to latex.

Which variable needs to be set and how?

thanks

IIUC you want to put a rule after every row in the table? If that's the
case, the straightforward way to do it is to explicitly put the rule in
your table:

  |/|<>|
  | |  |
  |-+--|

Otherwise you can use a filter, e.g.,
`org-export-filter-table-row-functions' and append "\\hine" there in
LaTeX-related back-ends.

Thanks, right, but then I have to insert a hline for every line.

That is more what I am looking for. But

org-export-filter-table-row-functions is nil.

So what do I have to set it to?

BTW I just realized that I wanted a similar functionality for the HTML
export, and in org version 7.8, this was controlled by


 '(org-export-html-table-tag
   "<table border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\" rules=\"all\" frame=\"border\">")


But this variable does not exist any more so the same question arises
how can I obtain that behavior for html export?

Thanks

Hm it seems that the following works for html support



| <>   | <>   |
| this | that |
|      |      |
#+ATTR_HTML: border="2" rules="all" frame="border"


But unfortunately this


| \ | <>   | <>   | <> |
|   | this | that |    |
|   |      |      |    |
#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment tabular :lend "\\\\ \\hline"


Does not work.

I got this to work:


(defun my-latex-insert-hline-always (row backend info)
       "Add a hline to every row when exporting to  LaTeX."
       (when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex)
	 (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\\\\\" "\\\\\\\\ \\\\hline" row)))

(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-table-row-functions 'my-latex-insert-hline-always)


Is this what you meant?

Something like that, yes.
