Problem getting booktabs example to work

Problem getting booktabs example to work

[Brendan Halpin]

I'm trying to implement the LaTeX/booktabs example at section 13.2 of 
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html
but am having no success.

I've tried a range of tweaks, but the most common result is to get the 
<<booktabs(table=test-table,align="lrX",env="tabularx")>>  
line reproduced verbatim in the output. 

I've pulled the latest git version.

In an "emacs -Q" session, I evaluate the following e-lisp:

> (setq load-path (cons "~/mylisp/org-mode/lisp/" load-path))
> (require 'org "~/mylisp/org-mode/lisp/org.el")
> (org-babel-do-load-languages
>  'org-babel-load-languages
>  '((emacs-lisp . t)
>    (R . t)
>    (ruby . t)
>    (latex . t)
>    ))
> (org-babel-lob-ingest
> "~/mylisp/org-mode/contrib/babel/library-of-babel.org")

and then do C-c C-e D in a buffer containing this org-mode text:

> #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{tabularx,booktabs}
> 
> * Table section
> #+name: tabularx-export
> #+begin_src latex :exports results :results latex
>   \begin{table}[htb!]
>   \centering
>   \footnotesize
>   \caption{A table to test booktabs}
>   \label{tab:test-table}
> <<booktabs(table=test-table,align="lrX",env="tabularx")>>
>   \end{table}
> #+end_src
> 
> * Not for export                                                   :noexport:
> #+tblname: test-table
> |     |   ham |   hol |   h2l |
> |-----+-------+-------+-------+
> | ham | 1.000 | 0.998 | 0.996 |
> | hol | 0.998 | 1.000 | 0.999 |
> | h2l | 0.996 | 0.999 | 1.000 |
> | oma | 0.986 | 0.990 | 0.995 |
> | omv | 0.941 | 0.939 | 0.936 |

The document is produced correctly, except for the fact that the
<<booktabs...>> chunk appears verbatim in place of the table body. 

As far as I can see I am following the instructions correctly, but I
am probably missing some prerequisite. 

Any pointers appreciated!


Regards,

Brendan

Aloha Brendan,

My mistake.  You are right, the tabularx-export block should also have
the header argument :noweb yes.

I've pushed this change to Worg.

Thanks for pointing it out.

All the best,
Tom

Aloha Brendan,

I've pushed up another fix to the example on Worg.  The call to booktabs
needs a width argument when the tabularx environment is used.

<<booktabs(table=test-table,align="lrX",env="tabularx",width="\\textwidth")>>

Your table doesn't look as if it needs tabularx, so you might want to
change to env="tabular" instead.

Thanks to Nick Dokos for pointing out to me off-list that the example
was more broken than I'd thought.

All the best,
Tom

... who has many reasons to be excited about the new exporter.

In the "credit where it's due" department, Brendan Halpin was the one
who found the problems: I just acted as a conduit, since I knew who the
guilty party was :-)
