Dear org-mode Users and Developers,
I just wanted to know whether there are plans to support multicolumns in
default orgtbl-to-latex. Something along these lines:
#+ORGTBL: SEND multicol orgtbl-to-latex :splice t :skip 0 :hline "\\midrule"
| | a | b | c |
|---+---+-------------+---|
| 1 | | mc(2)(c)(3) | |
| | 2 | mc(2)(c)(4) | |
Would produce
% % BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL multicol
& a & b & c\NN
\midrule
1 & & \multicolumn{2}{c}{3} & \NN
& 2 & \multicolumn{2}{c}{4} & \LL
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL multicol
The reason being that I would like to use \multicolumn often in the
middle of an orgtbl. My workarounds with manually inserting the LaTeX
macro are clumsy.
I understood that users should write their own conversion functions. If
I was going to try my fresh elisp fu, I wanted to ask here whether there
exists a generic orgtbl syntax to implement the above intercell
modification. I read the doc for version 7.5 but maybe there are also
new methods in the dev version which I freshly use.
Kind Regards,
Michael Bach
