Hi there, 

I am trying to find a way to automatically resize tables
in the latex output.

When doing slides in beamer, I use this to resize tables 
to fit in a frame

     #+LaTeX: \scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
	| . | . |
     #+LaTeX: }}

While when writing reports, I use the following instead 
as I need to cross reference it by the name

     #+CAPTION: table caption
     #+NAME: table:label
	| . | . |

then I loose the resize facility.  How could I combine 
the two? I tried to fiddle with 
#+ATTR_LATEX but didn’t mange to make it work. 

Thanks very much!

Zhihao

  I'm not sure whether it is related, but I have had problems with using a
  colon in names of objects.  Using, say, 'table;label' instead of
  'table:label' might help.
  
  Cheers,

  I don't follow.  Why do you say you lose the facility?  The following:
  
    #+LaTeX: \scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
    #+CAPTION: table caption
    #+NAME: table:label
       | . | . |
       | . | . |
    #+LaTeX: }}
  
  exports as:
  
    \scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
    \begin{table}[htb]
    \caption{\label{tab:orgtable1}
    table caption}
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{ll}
    . & .\\
    . & .\\
    \end{tabular}
    \end{table}
    }}
  
  Isn't that exactly what you want?

    Thanks very much for your reply. The proposed method 
    in this reply won’t work. It needs to be in the following
    structure where this line 
    
     “\scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{“
    
    is after “\begin{table}[htb]” and immediately before 
    “\begin{tabular}{rr}”. 
    
    I don’t know how to achieve that in the org syntax. 
    
    \begin{table}[htb]
    \caption[caption]{\label{tablelabel} caption}
    \centering
    
    \scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
    \begin{tabular}{rr}
    1 & 4 \\
    \end{tabular}
    }}
    
    \end{table}
    
    Thanks, 
    Zhihao

      Why is that?  Is it because table is a float?
      
      You could try repurposing the :caption attribute.  See: 
      
        (info "(org) LaTeX specific attributes")
      
      Hope this helps,

        Thanks. This idea works, based on which I used the following 
        in the end. 
        
        #+NAME: tbl:lab
        #+ATTR_LATEX: :caption \caption[short]{\label{tbl:lab} long.} \scriptsize{\resizebox{\textwidth}{!} \centering
        
        It does’t look very org like but is good that it works.
        
        Thanks, 
        Zhihao
