What I want are two slightly diffent things: - Make tables that have cells with individual background colours when exported as HTML or PDF. - Make tables that have cells with background colours and typeface details (bold, italic, etc.) based on contents of either the cells themselves or other cells in the table. (Example: mark all negative numerical values of a table with a red background.) Furthermore, the colouring should be portable, i.e. independent of the settings in .emacs. Is this possible with org-mode? Thanks, Andr=E1s
