12.9.6 Tables in ODT export
---------------------------
Export of native Org mode tables (
Tables) and simple ‘table.el’
tables is supported. However, export of complex ‘table.el’
tables—tables that have column or row spans—is not supported. Such
tables are stripped from the exported document.
By default, a table is exported with top and bottom frames and with
rules separating row and column groups (Column groups).
Furthermore, all tables are typeset to occupy the same width. If the
table specifies alignment and relative width for its columns (
Column width and alignment) then these are honored on export.(1)
You can control the width of the table by specifying ‘:rel-width’
property using an ‘#+ATTR_ODT’ line.
For example, consider the following table which makes use of all the
rules mentioned above.
#+ATTR_ODT: :rel-width 50
| Area/Month | Jan | Feb | Mar | Sum |
|---------------+-------+-------+-------+-------|
| / | < | | | < |
| <l13> | <r5> | <r5> | <r5> | <r6> |
| North America | 1 | 21 | 926 | 948 |
| Middle East | 6 | 75 | 844 | 925 |
| Asia Pacific | 9 | 27 | 790 | 826 |
|---------------+-------+-------+-------+-------|
| Sum | 16 | 123 | 2560 | 2699 |
On export, the table will occupy 50% of text area. The columns will
be sized (roughly) in the ratio of 13:5:5:5:6. The first column will be
left-aligned and rest of the columns will be right-aligned. There will
be vertical rules after separating the header and last columns from
other columns. There will be horizontal rules separating the header and
last rows from other rows.
If you are not satisfied with the above formatting options, you can
create custom table styles and associate them with a table using the
‘#+ATTR_ODT’ line. Customizing tables in ODT export.
