It is quite common to have multi-rows/columns cells in talbe. But as far as I know, it seems impossible with the org built-in table editor.
So I turned to the emacs built-in table, and create a simple example: #+BEGIN_SRC org +-----+-----+-----+ | h | | +-----+-----+ h3 | | h1 | h2 | | +-----+-----+-----+ | a | b | c | +-----+-----+-----+ | d | e | f | +-----+-----+-----+ #+END_SRC It works. However, when I export it to HTML, I find it does not contain <thead> tag (I would like to style the table head). So I'd like to know how do you guys to create such tables in org-mode. p.s. One workaround would be add support for the exporter to recognize `===` as a separator of table head and body #+BEGIN_SRC org +-----+-----+-----+ | h | | +-----+-----+ h3 | | h1 | h2 | | +=====+=====+=====+ | a | b | c | +-----+-----+-----+ | d | e | f | +-----+-----+-----+ #+END_SRC
