Hi everyone,

a few recent threads alerted me to the fact that the support for table.el tables was totally broken in recent versions of Org-mode. While I don't use this, I think it is a very nice feature to have.

Support for table.el tables is now restored, with the following important changes.

1. You cannot edit these tables in the buffer, you must
   use C-c ' (the same command that also edit source code snippets)

2. LaTeX export apparently never did support these tables.  Now it does,
including #+CAPTION, #+LABEL, and some ATTL_LaTeX settings (e.g. align)

I hope this proves to be useful.

For multi-line fields, please check out table.el, which makes such tables. And
Org does export them correctly.

I've had a play with table.el tables, and the ASCII export is fine, but HTML and LaTeX are not. HTML produces a sequence of "ndash" and "mdash", with no sign of the text within the table cells. The LaTeX export does include the table contents, but also the "-" and "+" characters separating the cells. Is there
some configuration or setting I need to change for this to work?

Thanks again for your help,
Mike
