Hi,
is there any good reason why there's always a caption (\caption{})
included whenever a table is exported to LaTeX as longtable environment?
If there isn't, I would strongly prefer to have the same behaviour with
longtable as with ordinary tables, i.e. suppress the caption if
`#+CAPTION:' is not explicitly given.

Hi Ulf,
it was my understanding that the caption command in longtable is
different from the caption command in normal tables, in that it is a
line that is printed over the table on each page - so I thought it
always needs to be there. Is that not correct?

yes, treatment is different but nevertheless the caption is not
mandatory for longtable. I never had any problems with longtable tables
without \caption{}.

Hi Ulf,
sorry for being so slow to process this request.
I believe this works now as you requested, please verify.

thanks for having a look at it (no need to apologise for the delay, it's
certainly not an urgent matter).
Captions are now suppressed for longtables without caption definition.
However, I've noticed that the extra linebreak (\\) is still inserted in
longtable environments regardless of the presence of a caption. That
linebreak leads to undesired effects when using longtable without a
caption but with vertical lines.
This should fix it:
