Subject: multicolumn cells in latex export

Message-ID: <1F648E1B-FFC1-4F1A-A29C-69030E4A5084@agrarianresearch.org> (raw)

Two years ago, Eric Schulte had shared some most useful code snippets (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-08/msg00113.html <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-08/msg00113.html>). This included an export filter (code pasted below) that provided a very useful way of introducing multicolumn cells in latex export.
I have been using this since then without any trouble. But today I tried using it to centre-align column headings in the top row by using <1colc>. While it works for other columns, it does not work on the last column.
The last column gets exported as
\multicolumn{1}{c}{Australia (2015)\\
}\hline
rather than as
\multicolumn{1}{c}{Australia (2015)}\\
\hline
Can anyone help debug what is wrong with this code?
