I am pleased to announce support for list-tables in the odt/xhtml exporters. See below for some introductary note. Also refer to the attached org/odt/html files.
Thanks for your past and future inputs. Jambunathan K. Related posts: 1. Thanks to Ben for introducing list-table in this post https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-03/msg01101.html 2. Thanks to Nathan Neff for raising the topic of resumes in the context of odt exporter https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-07/msg00998.html Discussions with him led me to understand the "two column" style of resumes. (Visibly speaking) the Eurpass CV template linked to below is also "pre-dominantly" a two column format save for few rows which have multiple columns. http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/img/dynamic/c1624/type.FileContent.file/CVTemplate_en_GB.odt 3. Thanks to Matt Price for passing complex table by me and registering some use cases. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-08/msg01186.html The overarching theme in all these threads is a multi-column table with copious text where each column is variably sized. List-tables is a humble first step in this direction. (Proportional sizing of columns and support for grid lines is coming soon) >From the blurb: ,---- | ;; Notes on LIST-TABLES | ;; ==================== | ;; When `org-lparse-list-table-enable' is non-nil, the following list | ;; | ;; #+begin_list-table | ;; - Row 1 | ;; - 1.1 | ;; - 1.2 | ;; - 1.3 | ;; - Row 2 | ;; - 2.1 | ;; - 2.2 | ;; - 2.3 | ;; #+end_list-table | ;; | ;; will be exported as though it were a table as shown below. | ;; | ;; | Row 1 | 1.1 | 1.2 | 1.3 | | ;; | Row 2 | 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 | | ;; | ;; Note that org-tables are NOT multi-line and each line is mapped to | ;; a unique row in the exported document. So if an exported table | ;; needs to contain a single paragraph (with copious text) it needs to | ;; be typed up in a single line. Editing such long lines using the | ;; table editor will be a cumbersome task. Furthermore inclusion of | ;; multi-paragraph text in a table cell is well-nigh impossible. | ;; | ;; LIST-TABLEs are meant to circumvent the above problems with | ;; org-tables. | ;; | ;; Note that in the example above the list items could be paragraphs | ;; themselves and the list can be arbitrarily deep. | ;; | ;; Inspired by following thread: | ;; https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-03/msg01101.html `----
