Is that based on the table-insert command, > or is aucmode's table handling separate? Hmm, not quite sure what you mean. Org-Mode has it's own, very easy to use table format (just ASCII tables). If you export an orgmode document to LaTeX it will turn the ascii tables into LaTeX tables (inserting the appropriate usepackage statements at the top). If you're not doing anything terribly sneaky you can use the standard export settings, and have org mode do the entire export-to-latex- process-with-latex-and-open-resulting-pdf dance all with one command. Alter the command, and the same ascii tables turn into html tables, and the html document is opened in your default browser. E > > Thanks! > Dan
