will wrap as needed. The options I can see are:
1) Do everything I can in org-mode, then export and edit the
intermediate .tex file, or
2) Create the table with some other tool, and include it as an image
into the org document
Am I missing anything? Are there other (better?) ways? As I expect to be
revising both the table and the rest of the document for a while, the
uni-directional workflow in #1 above would be difficult.
You can set the :align attribute. Something like this will wrap the
second column in the pdf file:
#+ATTR_LATEX :align lp{6cm}
| col | wrapcol |
You might also want to look at the LaTeX tabularx environment if you
want the table to be a particular width.
hth,
Tom

I've run into this problem before too, but I haven't found a good
solution. (Though I haven't looked that hard.) Maybe someone else will
have a better suggestion than the workaround I've used (see below).

What about just maintaining the table as an embedded LaTeX block? e.g.
... your Org text here ...
#+BEGIN_LATEX
\begin{tabular} % or wrap with \begin{table} if you need, etc.
% ...
\end{tabular}
#+END_LATEX
That way, at least, you can edit your document and the table at the same
time and in the same file, though it means giving up Org's nice table
editing features.
Best,
Richard

Hi, Thomas,
Excellent! Sorry I was completely unaware of this. That solves my problem
perfectly.
Thank you!

Thank you, Richard! I was not aware of this, but it seems like it would have a
slew of uses. (My first thought it to embed pstricks graphics into my
documents, but then I'd have to bypass pdflatex and use xelatex or something
instead.)
Thank you!
