Thanks very much for your reply. The proposed method
in this reply won’t work. It needs to be in the following
structure where this line
“\scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{“
is after “\begin{table}[htb]” and immediately before
“\begin{tabular}{rr}”.
I don’t know how to achieve that in the org syntax.
\begin{table}[htb]
\caption[caption]{\label{tablelabel} caption}
\centering
\scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
\begin{tabular}{rr}
1 & 4 \\
\end{tabular}
}}
\end{table}
Thanks,
Zhihao
