Hi all,
I know this is an ancient thread, but it seems the problem is still there, in
Emacs 25.
FWIW, this is my quick and dirty fix, that at least produce a readable output,
in Emacs as well as in the PDF output.
(require 'org-colview)
;; Quick&dirty workaround to
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/25821: replace
;; asterisks with some other character in the table automatically built by
org-colview, because
;; when the table is exported to LaTeX they are misinterpreted as emphasis
markup, resulting in
;; an unreadable hierarchy.
(defun esk/org-replace-section-prefix (s)
"Replace asterisks in Org heading with em-dashes."
(when (string-match org-outline-regexp-bol s)
(setq s (replace-match
(concat (make-string (- (match-end 0) (match-beginning 0) 1)
?—)
" ")
t t s)))
s)
(defun org-listtable-to-string (tbl)
"Convert a listtable TBL to a string that contains the Org-mode table.
The table still need to be aligned. The resulting string has no leading
and trailing newline characters."
(mapconcat
(lambda (x)
(cond
((listp x)
(concat "|" (esk/org-replace-section-prefix (mapconcat 'identity x
"|")) "|"))
((eq x 'hline) "|-|")
(t (error "Garbage in listtable: %s" x))))
tbl "\n"))
Of course I'll be happy to hear about any better way to do it!
ciao, lele.
