Thanks. This was the "best" solution for me. I quote because the
abstraction boundary between "how it's rendered" and "what I want to be
rendered" is getting fuliginous. It would be much better imo to have
blocks of first-class, and functions of higher-order on those blocks, so
one could say (side-by-side block1 block2) and the side-by-side
procedure would deal with the different format nuances. The idea is
similar to that of the Henderson Escher examples in SICP[1], where you
have "painters" and functions that combine "painters" in interesting
ways. Might be fun to investigate how far that can go with blocks in org.
@Jambunathan: Your examples render the blocks with sizes proportional to
the contained text, rather than aligning as a table. I find that
aesthetically displeasing :-(
Thanks all for the help.
Charles.
