Carsten, As a follow up to Tak's response, this points to a potential bug in org-mode when converting tables from org-mode table to table.el table:
* Org Mode Table | Header 1 | Header 2 | | R1 C1-2 | | R2 C1 | R2-3 C2 | | R3 C1 | | * Org Mode Table converted to table.el table using C-c ~ +----------+----------+ | Header 1 | Header 2 | +----------+----------+ | R1 C1-2 | +---------------------+ | R2 C1 | R2-3 C2 | +----------+----------+ | R3 C1 | | +----------+----------+ The second table is a result of hitting C-c ~ on the first table. Notice there is no '+' at the intersection at R1 C1-2, R2 C1 and R2-3 C2 It should be: +----------+----------+ | R1 C1-2 | +----------+----------+ | R2 C1 | R2-3 C2 | +----------+----------+ | R3 C1 | | +----------+----------+ Even after fixing the '+', the output is not the same as the one produced by table.el. Since I don't know quite how to debug in Emacs, I can only go by the produced output. Table.el produces the following for the corrected table: Input: +----------+----------+ | Header 1 | Header 2 | +----------+----------+ | R1 C1-2 | +----------+----------+ | R2 C1 | R2-3 C2 | +----------+ | | R3 C1 | | +----------+----------+ Table.el - table-generate-source (html) output: <table border="1"> <caption>Table</caption> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top"> Header 1 </td> <td align="center" valign="top"> Header 2 </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"> R1 C1-2 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> R2 C1 </td> <td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top"> R2-3 C2 <br /> <br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> R3 C1 </td> </tr> </table> Orgmode output: <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides"> <tr><th scope="col">Header 1</th> <th scope="col">Header 2</th></tr> <tr><td>R1 C1-2</td></tr> <tr><td>R2 C1<br/>R3 C1</td> <td>R2-3 C2<br/></td></tr> </table> I know this is probably not a high priority issue/bug but I am posting the information here for completeness. Thanks again for you all your feedback. - Srinivas _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
