the following page from the official manual
http://orgmode.org/manual/Images-in-LaTeX-export.html
says
#+ATTR_LaTeX: width=5cm,angle=90
however, the new exporter does not recognize this syntax. instead the
following works:
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :width 5cm
I was learning about this by guessing around for some time ... it is
surprisingly hard to edebug the export process (any hints?).
next, the following educated guess does not work:
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :width 5cm :angle 90
instead one needs to say
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :width 5cm,angle 90
I am not sure whether these changes are very intuitive, or more
intuitive than the old style. but, the changes interfere with the aim to
have reproducible documents.
now, I am ready to convert all my old documents to the new syntax. Would
someone share a (elisp/sed/perl/other) macro that reliably goes through
old org-mode files and converts the part of the syntax which is not
compatible with the new exporter? [it is easy to convert (width=) to
(:width) in lines that start with #+ATTR_LaTeX: but this is not the full
story.
Such a macro could then be applied to update the manual ...
cheers
Thomas

sorry for this post. I should have read the mailing list more
carefully. looks as if a) the issue is already under discussion and b)
that the manual is for latest release whereas I had problems with the
pre-release.

This is a bit vague.

This is because :angle is not recognized as a special keyword. Unless it
is implemented in `org-latex--inline-image', it should go in the
miscellaneous :options keyword, e.g.
#+attr_latex: :width 5cm :options angle=90

Well, that works but only as a side-effect.

thanks for the reply!
when edebugging the function org-export-read-attribute it is unclear to
me which function generates (the text properties of) element.
do you have a script which translates from old syntax to new?
thanks.

You can have a look at `org-element--collect-affiliated-keywords'.

No, I don't.
