How can I make alignment in table with some table styles?

[hwiorn]

I tried like below. But I can't make alignment rows differently.

A sample of table

I want to set center the first row and specific alignment others.

It seems that the org table alignment specification does not with with both list table and table with column span.

#+attr_odt: :style "GriddedTable"
#+attr_odt: :span "@1$1{3:1} @1$2{1:8} @2$2{1:2} @2$4{1:2} @2$6{1:2} @2$8{1:2}"

This is the intended behaviour. Without this workaround, there will be a stackoverflow because of recursive calls.

This is the #25. You made a request to Nicolas Goaziou, but he refused to look at this bug, saying that the ODT exporter was not part of the core. It doesn't matter. I will remove this limitation, atleast partially, in the next few days. See

org-mode-ox-odt/lisp/ox-odt.el

Line 5767 in e90550e

;; CELL-ALIGNMENT: One of "Left", "Right" or "Center" based on

I'm willing to wait this update.

I have siphoned off this part of the request as When using Custom Table styles it would be useful to honor alignment cookies.

FWIW, the purpose of the org-odt-table-styles is roughly equivalent to applying autoformat on tables in LibreOffice. Please track the above bug report.

You don't have either paragraph content or "really long" content. So, you really don't need a list table for it. If some descriptions are long, and not paragraph-like, you can either add a shrinking cookie to the column or you can siphon it off as a footnote reference and make it a transcluded table.

Yeah, you're right.

At that time, I didn't know the transcluded table and I thought about reading test results from a CSV(TSV) file and write to a ODT file as a report document to automate them all.
So I thought the list table is a suitable format for it.

A quick heads up ... I have added some basic set of changes as part of 3221803. The changes too longer than expected, and I ended up overhauling and enhancing table-related code. I may have to fix some loose ends, before you can take it for test run.

I will add a note on usage as soon as I do a second pass. Please wait for further instructions ....
