Misaligned Chinese text in column view

Misaligned Chinese text in column view

[Wanrong Lin]

Hi, Carsten,

Occasionally I use some Chinese text in my org files (I am a native 
Chinese speaker), and I find that in column view lines with Chinese text 
are misaligned, meaning those "|" dividers are off to the left by two 
characters. With fixed width fonts, each Chinese character occupies the 
space of two English characters, so the number fits well. :-)

In case you need some example Chinese text, here is a line.

* TODO 简体中文例子

This matter is really nothing important, but I guess as org-mode is so 
good now, it is not that easy to raise really important issues. :-)

Thanks.

Wanrong

Hi, Carsten,

After more careful measure of the Chinese character width, I found this 
is most likely a font problem, not org's problem. Please ignore my last 
post, and sorry for the noise.

Suggestions on Org-table export-html

[Xin Shi]

Hi,

When I use the org-table to export-html, I have two suggestions to make the CSS more flexiable (it already done a great job!)

The first one is for flexiable CSS:

The current code in html is:
<table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides">

It'll be flexiable to add another attribute  class="org-table", so that in the CSS file, we can treat these tables specifically. In this way, we'll be able to write in the CSS file like:

table.org-table th {
    background-color: #ECF1FF;
}

without affect the generic web table. 



The second one is for cleaner view on the html table:

Currently, every row is start with <tr>, it'll be nice to have alternate row with class="alt":

<tr> 
...
</tr>

<tr class="alt">
...
</tr>

Then, in the CSS file, we can use:
table tr { background: #e6e6e6;}
table tr.alt {background: #f1f1f1;}

The output html table will looks better then. 


Thanks!

Xin

It looks like I'll be doing the HTML exporter for the new engine so I've
jotted down your points.

Thanks,
Phil
