I agree that what you are commenting on is the great problem of Org Mode tables. Just a question. If I have understood it correctly, with this new syntax you propose, should Org understand all the 'concatenated text' Very Citrusy! Very \\ nice indeed! as a single row (and not as multiple rows)? If so that would be great, since the best way to deal with this kind of tables with a lot of text in LaTeX is with the tabularx package. For example, I would export your table like this: #+begin_src org ,#+LaTeX_Header:\usepackage{tabularx,array} ,#+ATTR_LaTeX: :environment tabularx :align l>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}Xl :width .6\textwidth :center t | Name | Description | Price | |--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+-------| | Orange Juice | Very Citrusy! Very nice indeed! ... and a lot of text | 5.00 | | Grape Juice | It's like wine, but you can have it all day! | 6.00 | #+end_src Best regards, Juan Manuel
