The following should work. It uses an inline code block --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+TBLNAME: test-table | key | value | |-----+-------| | a | 1 | | b | 2 |
Is there any way to refer to cell @2$2 within the text of an org-mode document, and have that reference converted to the value src_emacs-lisp[:var d=test-table[3,1]]{d} during export? --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Best -- Eric Austin Frank <austin.fr...@gmail.com> writes: > Hello! > > Is it possible to include the value of a single cell from an org-mode > table in the body of an org-mode document?
