Controlling float position in LaTeX export

Controlling float position in LaTeX export

[Manish]

Hello,

A figure is exported to LaTeX with markup like below.

,----
| \begin{figure}[htb]
| \centerline{\includegraphics[scale=0.8]{./time-series.png}}
| \caption{\label{fig:bt}Weekly Business Transaction over Past Two Years}
| \end{figure}
`----

How can I replace [htb] with [H] (during the export itself?)  It is
required by "float" package to ensure that floats appear where I want
them to appear.  Is there an option that controls that?

Thanks,

No problem.  Since I only want H all the time, I have modified
org-export-latex.el in a local git branch.

I should be able to maintain my patch on top of your updates quite
easily.  Git is good. :)

There is even an Org-mode FAQ about this very issue.
