feature proposal, add prefix and suffix to orgtbl matrix

feature proposal, add prefix and suffix to orgtbl matrix

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Around two weeks Rasmus suggested to use



    #+ATTR_LATEX: :mode math :environment pmatrix :math-suffix \times :math-prefix \mathbf{y}=
    | a | b |
    | c | d |
    #+ATTR_LATEX: :mode math :environment pmatrix
    | 1 | 2 |
    | 3 | 4 |

In order to obtain two matrix clued in the same environment when
exporting to latex. And it works nicely.

Couldn't orgtbl have a  similar feature in order to use it directly in
a latex buffer together with orgtbl mode?

Thanks

Is it really needed? You could send both tables within the same
environment, couldn't you?

No I can't

Look at this


% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL test
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
6 & 7 \\
 &  \\
8 &  \\
9 &  \\
\end{pmatrix}
\]
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL test

#+ORGTBL: SEND test orgtbl-to-latex-matrix :splice nil :skip 0
| 6 | 7 |
|   |   |

| 8 |   |
| 9 |   |
\end{comment}


Does not work, if I connect the table I obtain 1 matrix but I want two,
besides I cannot have the following result

% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL test
\[
A=
\begin{pmatrix}
6 & 7 \\
 &  \\
8 &  \\
9 &  \\
\end{pmatrix}
\]

Then you need two placeholders, one for each matrix.

You can:

  \[
    A=
  % BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL test
  \begin{pmatrix}
   6 & 7 \\
    &  \\
   8 &  \\
   9 &  \\
  \end{pmatrix}
  % END RECEIVE ORGTBL test
  \]

Thanks, even the following works
so the magic is to use
#+ORGTBL: SEND test orgtbl-to-latex :latex-default-table-mode math :environment pmatrix

_instead 

Of this
#+ORGTBL: SEND this orgtbl-to-latex-matrix :splice nil :skip 0


\[
A=
% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL test
\begin{pmatrix}
 6 & 7 \\
 12 &  \\
 8 & 9 \\
 9 & 10 \\
\end{pmatrix}
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL test
B=
% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL new
\begin{pmatrix}
 5 & 6 \\
 9 & 8 \\
  &  \\
\end{pmatrix}
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL new
\]
