Generally, I like the latest incarnation of HTML table formatting, in particular because I can control the presence of horizontal lines. But, now I'm spoiled and would like to do the same for vertical lines -- on a table-by-table basis. With the rules=groups attribute (already the default with org-mode), this can be accomplished in HTML using the COLGROUP element.
What about a new column delimiter (e.g., '!') to indicate column groups in addition to columns? My hope is to have something like the following be possible: ! ! Col A | Col B | Col C ! !--------!---------|---------|--------! ! Row 1 ! A1 | B1 | C1 ! ! Row 2 ! A2 | B2 | C2 ! !--------!---------|---------|--------! The '!' lines would appear in the HTML rendering, while the "|" lines would not. Or, as an ASCII export: |-------+---------+---------+--------| | | Col A | Col B | Col C | |-------+---------+---------+--------| | Row 1 | A1 B1 C1 | | Row 2 | A2 B2 C2 | |-------+----------------------------| Dan _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
