* Context

  In the PDF output, I need to have tables somehow highlighted. For example,
  by placing a border around them, or by putting a background color.

  Some months ago, I did that by using =org-special-blocks=, such in the
  following example:

#+BEGIN_shaded
  |   Code |    1st |    2nd |
  |--------+--------+--------|
  | 361-94 | 830.00 | 830.00 |
  | 364-91 |   0.00 | 347.00 |
#+END_shaded

  But =org-special-blocks= turns out to be incompatible with Org-babel, and
  since the latter grows in importance...


* Essays

  All of the following essays fail, in that the tables are copied verbatim in
  the TeX output file. That is, the columns are not replaced by the correct
  code (with ampersand as separator).

** Embedding LaTeX

\begin{shaded}
  |   Code |    1st |    2nd |
  |--------+--------+--------|
  | 361-94 | 830.00 | 830.00 |
  | 364-91 |   0.00 | 347.00 |
\end{shaded}


** Quoting LaTeX code

#+LaTeX: \begin{shaded}
  |   Code |    1st |    2nd |
  |--------+--------+--------|
  | 361-94 | 830.00 | 830.00 |
  | 364-91 |   0.00 | 347.00 |
#+LaTeX: \end{shaded}


** Quoting LaTeX code à la Org-babel?

#+BEGIN_SRC shaded
  |   Code |    1st |    2nd |
  |--------+--------+--------|
  | 361-94 | 830.00 | 830.00 |
  | 364-91 |   0.00 | 347.00 |
#+END_SRC


** Alternatives...

   Is there any other working alternative to get the power of Org tables and
   LaTeX code surrounding them, in order to get this:

\begin{shaded}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
   Code  &     1st  &     2nd  \\
\hline
 361-94  &  830.00  &  830.00  \\
 364-91  &    0.00  &  347.00  \\
\end{tabular}
\end{shaded}

Best regards,
  Seb
