However, during the week I performed the following coding changes to the groff exporter: 1. Cleaned up some issues related to nested lists and special blocks. 2. Added formatting control on tables. Now the use of and will propagate in the exported table. 3. Added a new option for title line on tables (:title-line). It overrides the first line to cb (centralized bold). 4. Added support to propagate column width. It will convert 5 characters to one centimeter. It works sort of ok, but it's groff's doing, not org-mode. Needs more testing, but what I want to export, it's being exported fine. 5. Removed irrelevant code, more needs to be removed. This will be ongoing. Some of these have been discovered while eating my own dog food. I have an org file in which I store all the meeting notes. I started to export those to PDF using the groff exporter. Things that have been found that have resulted in bugs are being fixed and propagated. I'll do that to make sure that the exporter is stable for daily use by... using it daily. :) -- Luis Anaya papoanaya aroba hot mail punto com "Do not use 100 words if you can say it in 10" - Yamamoto Tsunetomo
