Caption and notes for images in latex export

Caption and notes for images in latex export

[Vikas Rawal]

By default, orgmode export to latex puts captions of images below the
images. How to change the behaviour and make the captions appear at
the top? Also, I would like to add "Notes" and "Source" below the
image. What is the right way of doing that?

Well, you can't at the moment.

To use #+CAPTION :)

You can use filters:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-latex-captions-above (link backend info)
  (when (and (memq backend '(e-latex e-beamer))
             (string-match
              "\\(^\\\\centering\n\\\\includegraphics.*\n\\)\\(\\\\caption.*\n\\)"
              link))
    (replace-match "\\2\\1" nil nil link)))

(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-link-functions 'my-latex-captions-above)
#+end_src

You can use the same filter. This is left as an exercise.

Thanks for responses.

I am not sure if I should, at the moment, allow myself to get
distracted into experimenting with the org-mode code. I am going to
let it be, and leave it for later.

Thanks again,
