understanding column groups

understanding column groups

I am trying to make (and understand!) column groups for html export
According to http://orgmode.org/manual/Column-groups.html having a line
starting / and then showing < for group start and group end makes column
groups.

When I make and org file containing these 4 lines:

* head
  | /         | <                 > |     | < > |
  | some text | and some more       | d e | fg  |
  |           |                     |     |     |

all that happens on export is that the / < > etc literally appear in the
export!

Is there something else I should study?

Org-mode version 7.8.02

Hi Rustom,

I think the issue is that you have missed assigning a column (the 3rd) to a group.  Also, to simplify things, as stated no the link you gave, you can just specify the start of column groups.  Something like the following should work as expected:

* head
  | /         | <                   |<    | <   |
  | some text | and some more       | d e | fg  |
  |           |                     |     |     |

Not this < > but this <>. i.e., no spaces between the angle
brackets. Seems to work.

Thanks Jambunathan -- that did it.
The org and html are attached.
Still need to do some paste -d'|' and some hand-editing which I guess I
could automate...
