The original issue is at https://github.com/kjambunathan/org-mode-ox-odt/issues/25
"org-export-table-cell-alignment uses org-export-data to infer cookies of some columns. I think, it should use other mechanisms like org-element-interpret-data (may be)." The odt exporter is really useful, it replaces latex in most cases for me. How can I help in getting it into the main org repo?
