Hello!

This is a small issue that have vexed me a number of times when I've
been writing up a report or something where I want to export the results
into multiple formats (such as both LaTeX and HTML in the below
example).

At least for me, it is very common to want to display more than one
image side-by-side, but so far I haven't been able to find any solution
that really works in all regards. The example document below shows some
of the things I've tried and mentions some of the issues:


#+LATEX_CLASS: article
#+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [a4paper,11pt,twoside]
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{svg}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{subcaption}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{placeins}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{float}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{wrapfig}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{graphicx}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{xspace}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \captionsetup[subfigure]{labelformat=empty}

#+NAME: a
#+BEGIN_SRC dot :file /tmp/a.png :cmdline -Tpng -Gsize=9,15\! -Gdpi=10
  digraph {
  1 -> 2;
  2 -> 3;
  }
#+END_SRC

#+NAME: b
#+BEGIN_SRC dot :file /tmp/b.png :cmdline -Tpng -Gsize=9,15\! -Gdpi=10
  digraph {
  1 -> 3;
  2 -> 3;
  }
#+END_SRC

* LaTeX

  #+BEGIN_CENTER
  #+ATTR_LATEX: :height 0.4\textwidth :center
  #+RESULTS: a
  [[file:/tmp/a.png]]
  #+ATTR_LATEX: :height 0.4\textwidth :center
  #+RESULTS: b
  [[file:/tmp/b.png]]
  #+END_CENTER

* HTML

  (Works, but can't control height for both images.)

  #+ATTR_HTML: :align center :height 300
  [[/tmp/a.png]]
  [[/tmp/b.png]]


* HTML + LaTeX

  Works in both HTML and LaTeX but disables per-image attributes (:height,
  :center etc). Additionally, images in tabular environments tend to be a
bit
  fragile in LaTeX depending on which document style is being used. Also
adds
  undesired lines above/below the table.

  #+ATTR_HTML: :align center
  | [[/tmp/a.png]] | [[/tmp/b.png]] |


* LaTeX Only

  LaTeX example using the common 'subfigure' package.

  \begin{figure}
      \centering
       \begin{subfigure}[c]{0.5\textwidth}
          \centering
          \includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{/tmp/a.png}
          \caption{a.png}
       \end{subfigure}
       \begin{subfigure}[c]{0.3\textwidth}
          \centering
          \includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{/tmp/b.png}
          \caption{b.png}
       \end{subfigure}
     \caption{Subfigures}%
   \end{figure}


  This question was originally asked almost 5 years ago on
  [[
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/38745/orgmode-image-export-side-by-side-to-both-latex-and-html][Emacs
  Stack Exchange]], but so far only have a very limited solution in my
  opinion. Ideally, I'm looking for some kind of org-mode environment
  that could export to most backends (at least HTML and LaTeX) without
  duplicating the image exports for each of them individually.

  Does something like that already exist in org-mode? Alternatively,
  what is the recommended and most portable approach to placing images
  side-by-side?

  Best Regards,
  Gustaf

No, AFAIK.

There are two problems:
1. We currently lack object-granular control over export attributes.
   Attributes for images are set for the whole paragraph and Org uses a
   paragraph starting with image as a special case, assigning paragraph
   to the image.
2. There is no easy universal way to create side-by-side images for all
   possible backends. The best thing we might provide is merging
   multiple images into one using, for example, a LaTeX minipage export
   to create merged image to be included into the exported document.

Patches welcome!
This feature is requested from time to time.

Org is already a text structure that has elementary objects defined,
as you said, not everything is granular, but there is no limit what
users can define in Org.

Elementary Objects:
https://www.dougengelbart.org/content/view/110/460/#2a1a

So anything can be elementary object, no matter in what kind of a
system.

By having that in mind, I think other objects could be used to get
what user wants.

In Asciidoctor I can make table with invisible lines, and position
pictures inside of cells, or place some text on sides. There exists
Asciidoc export for Org. What you read is now my thoughts about it,
development towards possible solution:

| My left | My right |
|---------+----------|
| left    | right    |

Giving this with Asciidoc Org export:

[width="80%",options="header"]
|====
| My left| My right

| left| right
|====

Then this here:

| [[./img/a.jpg]] | [[./img/b.jpg]] |

Get correctly exported as:

[width="80%"]
|====
| image:./img/a.jpg[]| image:./img/b.jpg[]
|====

in Asciidoctor.

One can use that as fundamental point. Instead of using Asciidoctor
export, one could use source blocks to generate LaTeX export by using
Asciidoctor markup.

Here is only the idea:

#+BEGIN_SRC asciidoctor-to-latex
[width="80%"]
|====
| image:./img/a.jpg[]| image:./img/b.jpg[]
|====
#+END_SRC

Then based on following function, one can conevert that above:

(defun rcd-asciidoc-snippet-no-header-footer-to-latex (text)
  "Return LaTeX for Asciidoc snippet TEXT without header and footer."
  (let* ((text (rcd-asciidoctor text "-s" "-b" "docbook5"))
	 (text (rcd-pandoc-convert-string text "docbook" "latex")))
    text))

(rcd-asciidoc-snippet-no-header-footer-to-latex "
[width=\"80%\"]
|====
| image:./img/a.jpg[]| image:./img/b.jpg[]
|====
") ➜ "\\begin{longtable}[]{@{}
  >{\\raggedright\\arraybackslash}p{(\\columnwidth - 2\\tabcolsep) * \\real{0.4000}}
  >{\\raggedright\\arraybackslash}p{(\\columnwidth - 2\\tabcolsep) * \\real{0.4000}}@{}}
\\toprule\\noalign{}
\\endhead
\\bottomrule\\noalign{}
\\endlastfoot
\\includegraphics{./img/a.jpg} & \\includegraphics{./img/b.jpg} \\\\
\\end{longtable}
"

and by using the above think process, it is possible to make
following, by using the Org snippet:

#+BEGIN_SRC org-to-asciidoc-to-latex
| [[./img/a.jpg]] | [[./img/b.jpg]] |
#+END_SRC

then such Org snippet can be converted to Asciidoc, then to docbook5,
then to LaTeX or to HTML. 

Solution is right there by using pandoc, asciidoctor and "elementary
objects" as Org Babel source blocks.

And this may not be the only solution.

By using above method, that is solved for each individual user how
they wish and want. It does not need much adaptation IMHO.

As if you do not control those backends, there is also no need for that.

However, by using the above method, it is possible to solve it for all
backends straight from Org, by only adding conversion function.

Merging multiple images sounds to me as hard coding. 

Providing small conversion functions for various exports like HTML,
Org would just make it work.

I did not provide final example in this e-mail, but now you could, I
gave you the thought process and functionality.
