- Thanks for the table link, though I only see how to change frames and
borders on the provided link. Do I just need to pass some html/css option
through #+ATTR_HTML?

- Also... stupid me. I meant to specify that I'm looking to do this in
LaTeX, not necessarily html, though I'm glad to have knowledge of both.

After more reading, this seems pretty doable through the 'p{width}'
alignment option which seems to work through #+ATTR_LaTeX to control
automatic wrapping in a cell. My remaining question is whether or not it's
possible to enable tabular* instead of the default environment as then I
could limit both columns and determine table widths. I don't know that
tabular seems to have this option?


Thanks,
John
