Hello,

can org-mode do this?

I have an org document and want that, at least in the html export, a
certain part looks like this:

 +---------------------------------+  +---------------------------------+
 |             Image 1             |  |            Image 2              |
 |                                 |  |                                 |
 |                                 |  |                                 |
 |                                 |  |                                 |
 |                                 |  |                                 |
 |                                 |  |                                 |
 |                                 |  |                                 |
 |                                 |  |                                 |
 |                                 |  |                                 |

   * Point 1 said about Image 1         * Point 1 said about Image 2
   * Point 2 said about Image 1         * Here Point 2 is harder to
                                          describe and needs 2 lines
   * More stuff about Image 1

I.e., a comparison of two variants of a thing using 2 images with
several small text items below them, that pairwise correspond to each
other.

I think so. How about

#+attr_html: :rules false :frame false
