Table captions in LaTeX export

Table captions in LaTeX export

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha all,

With this input:

,----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| #+begin_margintable                                                              
| #+name: tab:eg                                                                   
| #+attr_latex: :float nil :booktabs t :center nil :caption \caption{Example table}
| | First | Second |                                                               
| |-------+--------|                                                               
| | One   | Two    |                                                               
| | Three | Four   |                                                               
| #+end_margintable                                                                
`----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On export to LaTeX, I get this, which lacks a caption and a label:

,--------------------
| \begin{margintable}
| \begin{tabular}{ll}
| \toprule           
| First & Second\\   
| \midrule           
| One & Two\\        
| Three & Four\\     
| \bottomrule        
| \end{tabular}      
| \end{margintable}  
`--------------------

It would be good to have :caption and label honored, even when :float
nil, like this:

,--------------------------------------
| \begin{margintable}                  
| \caption{Example table\label{tab:eg}}
| \begin{tabular}{ll}                  
| \toprule                             
| First & Second\\                     
| \midrule                             
| One & Two\\                          
| Three & Four\\                       
| \bottomrule                          
| \end{tabular}                        
| \end{margintable}                    
`--------------------------------------

Is this possible?

All the best,
Tom

You could always resort to direct LaTeX directives, as in

#+begin_src org
  ,#+begin_margintable
  ,#+latex: \label{tab:eg} \caption{Example table}
  ,#+attr_latex: :float nil :booktabs t :center nil 
  | First | Second |
  |-------+--------|
  | One   | Two    |
  | Three | Four   |
  ,#+end_margintable
#+end_src

Unfortunately, this isn't fully functional.  The internal link points to
#+name: and not \label{}.

Hi,

Float=nil disables the caption.  There's an older thread on this.  I
started a patch for this, but I have not finished it, and at the moment
I'm very busy.

This is expected behavior (ATM).

Thanks for the response.  Let me know if there is something I can do to
help.

All the best,
