Pandoc supports tables in markdown documents, maybe this would be a good syntax to target, as with pandoc markdown may be further exported to either HTML or LaTeX. http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#tables FWIW, it looks like pandoc also supports Org-mode tables. http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#pipe-tables Just throwing out ideas, I don't personally use the markdown export.
