Unless:
1) your tabular env is required to be on one continuous line, or
2) You know how to split an org-table into multiple lines
No, they are different. I'm not sure if I was explicit about the
above, but I'm inserting that native LaTeX code into the org file;
that's not post-export. That's just how I dump it... so I get a couple
lines of tabular setup and then my whole quote can rest in one
paragraph with fill mode line wrapping. With the org table it was off
the page with fill mode.
The other source of confusion might have been whether or not we both
use fill mode. I do, but think if I didn't, perhaps the org-table
would wrap for me?
Does that make things any clearer?
