ATTR_LATEX not being applied on dynamic blocks

ATTR_LATEX not being applied on dynamic blocks

[Francesco Pizzolante]

Hi,

I have an issue with ATTR_LATEX attributes not being applied to the clocktable
dynamic block.

This issue is similar to the one exposed by Sebastien in his post [1], so I took
his ECM and modified it a little bit.

Here's it is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{tabularx}

* Tasks

Some tasks with CLOCK lines.

This issue is a regression compared to Org 7 as this example works perfectly
with Org 7 (with this tiny change):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+ATTR_LATEX: tabularx width=\linewidth align=Xrrr
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Any help is welcome.

 Francesco

Attributes are correctly applied to the block, but you want them to
apply on the inner table instead, which is different.  Correct syntax
should be something along the lines of:

  #+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 4 :scope file :block 2013-06 :lang "en" :narrow 80! :indent t
  Clock summary at [2013-09-03 Tue 17:16], for June 2013.

Indeed, this is a better expression of what I want.

Well, you're probably right.

But if I try what you suggest and move the #+ATTR_LATEX line inside the
dynamic block (after the #+BEGIN: clocktable and just before the generated
table), then this line gets lost as soon as the dynamic block is regenerated,
which is not what I expect.

With Org 7, having the #+ATTR_LATEX line just before the #+BEGIN: clocktable
line applies the attributes to the inner table of the dynamic block and the
#+ATTR_LATEX line is not lost each time I regenerate the dynamic block.

Any other hint/solution for me?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,
 Francesco

Then some attribute could be added to dynamic block arguments in order
to re-create the ATTR_LATEX keyword each time. IIRC we did that
for #+CAPTION some months ago. It shouldn't be difficult to do it for
this one.

This is not possible anymore.

I've seen, indeed (thanks!), that there was a ":header" option, which you can
use to add free text in front of the dynamic table.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope ("clock-file.org") :block 2013-08 :fileskip0 t :lang "en" :header "#+ATTR_LaTeX: :environment longtabu :align lXrr\n"
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :environment longtabu :align lXrr
| File           | Headline            |   Time |      |
|----------------+---------------------+--------+------|
|                | ALL Total time      |   1:44 |      |
|----------------+---------------------+--------+------|
| clock-file.org | File time           | *1:44* |      |
|                | Projet management   |   1:44 |      |
|                | \__ Writing reports |        | 1:44 |
#+END:

Though, doing so, there is no CAPTION anymore...

I could add it in the "header", but then I loose the auto-generated (and
useful) stuff in the caption itself:

#+CAPTION: Clock summary at [2013-09-04 Wed 14:22], for August 2013.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                         useful                     very useful

Maybe adding a ":header" should not strip the autogenerated caption?

OK.

I need that as well -- here is the patch (if Nicolas is OK with it)...
