How do you in org-mode override/identify the column-class for a single column when you have multiple columns of the same type in the same table?

Hello,

 

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion.

I did not say that HTML should be edited manually. I said that ox-html probably needs an update that inserts the col tag with user-specified col-classes. 

 I can add a class to the <table> tag with

#+ATTR_HTML: :class my-table

 

Correct. That class won't help here. You need a class that scopes the individual columns. 

 But I don’t know how to add a new class to <col> in org-mode; or how to define a custom column (one that is now <r>, <l>, <c>).

Right, that needs to be investigated. Most likely, at the moment, we cannot set individual classes for each column. 

No point in CSS-restyling default class="org-center", class="org-left", etc.  … this would affect columns in other tables

That's a CSS problem. You can set a unique class for a table using the attr_html syntax you showed above and then set CSS rules only for that table using ".my-table td+td" and so on. 

 

The org-* classes you mentioned can be easily overridden or used along with the new classes, based on how the CSS rules are written.
