[Orgmode] radio tables in an org buffer

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha all,

Is it possible to use radio tables and lists inside an org buffer?

I'm writing and tangling LaTeX with Org-babel and it would be useful to leverage the LaTeX export capabilities of Org-mode, especially with tabular material, which is tedious to format by hand in LaTeX.

Here's what it would look like in the Org-mode buffer:

* Sales figures table

#+source: salefigures

#+begin_src latex

% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL salesfigures

% END RECEIVE ORGTBL salesfigures 

#+end_src

     #+ORGTBL: SEND salesfigures orgtbl-to-latex

     | Month | Days | Nr sold | per day |

     |-------+------+---------+---------|

     | Jan   |   23 |      55 |     2.4 |

     | Feb   |   21 |      16 |     0.8 |

     | March |   22 |     278 |    12.6 |

     #+TBLFM: $4=$3/$2;%.1f

     % $ (optional extra dollar to keep font-lock happy, see footnote)

 

All the best,

Tom
