LaTeX export: images in margin

LaTeX export: images in margin

[Roger Mason]

Hello,

I'd like to have images in the margin when exporting to LaTeX (or 
creating a pdf via LaTeX).  I see from a message on one of the TeX 
mailing lists that this can be done like this:

\marginpar{\includegraphics[]{../images/Walkthrough_1-001.jpg}}

How can I get org (8.0.3 on linux) to wrap calls to \includegraphics 
with a call to \marginpar?  Maybe this is in the FAQ or a mailing list 
message, but if so, I did not find it.

Thanks,
Roger

You can adapt this to your needs:

It's in the FAQ now: <http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#filter>

Thanks for your response.  I have it working somewhat:

(defun margin-graphics (contents backend info)
   (when (eq backend 'latex)
     (replace-regexp-in-string "\\`\\\\includegraphics.+\\({.+}\\)"
        "\\\\marginpar{\\\\includegraphics\1} " contents)))

(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-link-functions 'margin-graphics)

However, the LaTeX file contains this:

\marginpar{\includegraphics\x01^A}

rather than the expected

\marginpar{\includegraphics\x01[]{filename}}

Something is wrong with my regexp, but what?

Thanks,
Roger

This line:

(replace-regexp-in-string "\\`\\\\includegraphics.+\\({.+}\\)"
        "\\\\marginpar{\\\\includegraphics\1} " contents)))

should be:

(replace-regexp-in-string "\\`\\\\includegraphics.+\\({.+}\\)"
        "\\\\marginpar{\\\\includegraphics\\1} " contents)))

Note the double backslash before the '1' in the replacement text.

Cheers,
Roger

That is a lisp gotcha, :-p.  The regexp needs a backslash, however since
it is the escape character in lisp strings, it needs to be escaped
itself.

Glad things worked out for you.
