Table latex exporting ignores #+ATTR_LATEX:

Table latex exporting ignores #+ATTR_LATEX:

[Peter Mukhachev]

Hello everyone,

I am making a table using org mode in order to export it to tex file
and insert resulting file to my document.
(org-latex-export-as-latex) does the thing, however, I do not need
header thing that it inserts by default.

(org-table-export) can probably do the thing I want. However,
dispatching it with latex backend ends up with #+ATTR_LATEX: line
ignored and exports bare table only in its tabular environment.
However, I would like to be able to control the alignment either at my
.org file with #+ATTR_LATEX (preferred) or at my top-level .tex file
using tabular environment.

Does anyone have an idea how to do that?

Best,
Petr.

Maybe show us a minimal example that does not work?  Ideally, you should
have something along the lines of

#+attr_latex: ...
| a | table |

$ cat table-source.org
#+ATTR_LATEX: :align lp{2cm}l
| Name   | Text | Rationale      |
| height | 18 m | ATC requriment |

# Here I export with M-x org-table-export RET org-table-export-
result.tex RET orgtbl-to-latex RET

It gives the following (note the alignment string is "lll")
$ cat org-table-export-result.tex
\begin{tabular}{lll}
Name & Text & Rationale\\
height & 18 m & ATC requriment\\
\end{tabular}

However, when I dispatch it via M-x org-latex-export-to-latex, the
output is the following (alignment stirg is the same as in org file)
$ tail -n 6 table_source.tex
\begin{tabular}{lp{2cm}l}
Name & Text & Rationale\\
height & 18 m & ATC requriment\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}%

Can you use body-only export?  (That is, is your table the only content
of your document?)

In elisp (org-latex-export-to-latex nil nil nil t), or interactively
C-c C-e C-b <ENTER>.



Best regards
Robert

Thanks, that works as expected.

However, still, that way the table is exported inside "center"
environment, which is kind of okay for me.
