Table with LaTeX math expressions as default

Table with LaTeX math expressions as default

Hi  there!

I'm using org-mode to generate a table which has columns with mathematical
expressions in certain columns.

   #+caption: Berger's list of Holonomy groups
   #+name: tab:holonomy

|---+---------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------|
   |   | Metric        | Holonomy                    |
Dimension             |

|---+---------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------|
   | / | <>            | <>                          |
<>                    |
   | # | Kaehler       | \( U(\tfrac{n}{2}) \)       | \(n\in 2\mathbb{N}
\) |
   | # | Calabi-Yau    | \( SU(\tfrac{n}{2}) \)      | \(n\in 2\mathbb{N}
\) |
   | # | Hyper-Kaehler | \( Sp(\tfrac{n}{4}) \)      | \(n\in 4\mathbb{N}
\) |
   | # | Quaternionic  | \( Sp(\tfrac{n}{4})Sp(1) \) | \(n\in 4\mathbb{N}
\) |
   | # | Exceptional   | \( G_2 \)                   |
7                     |
   | # |               | \( Spin(7) \)               |
8                     |

Unfortunately, these math expressions should be typeset between \( and \).

*QUESTION*

Is there a way to say that a column contains (by default) mathematical
expressions?

In LaTeX the answer would be:
- Use the package =array=
- In the format of the array column include >{$} c <{$}, to indicate these
is a math expression

Thank you.

Nobody has answered yet so let me do so.  Basically, no, this is not
possible.  Org will let you define the column specifications the way you
want them but you would still have to escape the actual mathematical
expressions in the table to avoid org's exporter from escaping the
backslashes, e.g. using export snippets or macros.  The result would be
more effort than what you already have, in my opinion.
