Hi Eric, Thanks for the response. Yes, I'm aware of that, but it seems unnecessary when I have already used the alignments in the table (and of course if you want HTML to be the same alignment as latex then you would have to do both). I have a patch that fixes this issue and behaves the same when alignment is not specified (or is specified via the attr_latex). This patch is actually against org version 7.7. Not totally sure the best delivery method, but it is short so I include here. Let me know what you think
