* table as parameter for latex block @ 2012-03-18 8:40 Martin Halder 2012-03-18 18:29 ` Thomas S. Dye 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Martin Halder @ 2012-03-18 8:40 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode Hi all, was trying to use a table as input for a latex block. Is there a way to directly reference parts of the table inside the block or do I have to specify each parameter as separate parameter ? Thanks for help, Martin This is working: #+tblname: data | Name | John Doe | | Address | Doestreet 42 | | Country | Doecountry | #+name: invoice(name=data[0,1], address=data[1,1], country=data[2,1]) #+begin_src latex name address country #+end_src #+RESULTS: invoice #+BEGIN_LaTeX John Doe Doestreet 42 Doecountry #+END_LaTeX what I would like to do: #+name: invoice(data=data) #+begin_src latex data[0,1] data[1,1] data[2,1] #+end_src or even better: #+name: invoice(data=data) #+begin_src latex data['Name'] data['Adress'] data['Country'] #+end_src ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

An alternative is to send the table to a source block in some other language and then evaluate with :results latex. The advantage is that the other language can have loops and complex data types that make it relatively easy to deal with tables. It might be possible to do these kinds of things with TeX, but it is likely to be difficult. hth, Tom > > This is working: > > #+tblname: data > | Name | John Doe | > | Address | Doestreet 42 | > | Country | Doecountry | > > #+name: invoice(name=data[0,1], address=data[1,1], country=data[2,1]) > #+begin_src latex > name > address > country > #+end_src > > #+RESULTS: invoice > #+BEGIN_LaTeX > John Doe > Doestreet 42 > Doecountry > #+END_LaTeX > > what I would like to do: > > #+name: invoice(data=data) > #+begin_src latex > data[0,1] > data[1,1] > data[2,1] > #+end_src > > or even better: > > #+name: invoice(data=data) > #+begin_src latex > data['Name'] > data['Adress'] > data['Country'] > #+end_src > > > > -- Thomas S.

But :results latex looks very interesting, will have a look if I can solve it with that one, many thanks for the hint. This is my use case, the example below was maybe too much simplified: #begin_src latex ... weird latex code \put(-2,-50){ \parbox{8cm}{ \tiny{mycompany - mystree - mycountry}\\ \\ \normalsize \textbf{company}\\ street\\ \textbf{country} \vspace{2mm}\\ } } ... weird latex code #end_src latex Cheers, Martin > >> >> This is working: >> >> #+tblname: data >> | Name | John Doe | >> | Address | Doestreet 42 | >> | Country | Doecountry | >> >> #+name: invoice(name=data[0,1], address=data[1,1], country=data[2,1]) >> #+begin_src latex >> name >> address >> country >> #+end_src >> >> #+RESULTS: invoice >> #+BEGIN_LaTeX >> John Doe >> Doestreet 42 >> Doecountry >> #+END_LaTeX >> >> what I would like to do: >> >> #+name: invoice(data=data) >> #+begin_src latex >> data[0,1] >> data[1,1] >> data[2,1] >> #+end_src >> >> or even better: >> >> #+name: invoice(data=data) >> #+begin_src latex >> data['Name'] >> data['Adress'] >> data['Country'] >> #+end_src >> >> >> >> > > -- > Thomas S.
