New LaTeX exporter captions

New LaTeX exporter captions

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Nicolas,

An example I gave on the ML a few days ago doesn't really work right.

#+name: fundamental-model
#+header: :exports results
#+header: :file fundamental-model.pdf
#+BEGIN_SRC dot
  graph G
        { 
        graph [margin="0.01"];
          d [label = "Dated event", shape ="box"];
          t [label = "Target event"];
          d -- t [label = "Association", dir = "both", len = 2];
          {rank=same; d t;}
          }
#+END_SRC          

#+CAPTION[The fundamental relationship of a chronological model]: 
#+CAPTION: The fundamental relationship of a chronological model based on radiometric dating.
#+ATTR_LaTeX: width=232pt
#+NAME: fig:fundamental
#+RESULTS: fundamental-model
[[file:fundamental-model.pdf]]

In particular, the short part of caption doesn't export unless the colon
is followed by some content.  Is this intentional?  It seems like a
reasonable restriction to me.

All the best,
Tom

At first, only one caption line was allowed. Thus, it didn't make much
sense to provide a short caption but no long caption. Now captions are
multi-lines, it may be possible to do so. I've removed the restriction
in master branch.

Note that you can also use the following:

  #+CAPTION[The fundamental relationship of a chronological model]: The fundamental
  #+CAPTION: relationship of a chronological model based on radiometric dating.

Neat.  Thanks for the help.
