Hi all,
After quite a bit of mucking around and finally resorting to checking the
source code, I worked out how to wrap an image in a figure environment
without a caption. The final solution
#+ATTR_LATEX: :float figure
was trivial, but the manual wasn't too helpful on this particular subject.
So others don't have to go through the same troubles I think the manual
could be slightly reworded. In the section "Images in Latex export"
http://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-specific-attributes.html#LaTeX-specific-attributes
I think the following sentence:
"You can also ask Org to export an image as a float without specifying
caption by setting the :float attribute."
should be change to:
"You can also ask Org to export an image as a float without specifying a
caption by setting the :float attribute *to figure*."
Also a summary of the the attributes and their valid values, as is done for
Latex tables would be useful.
Cheers,
Chris.
ps. I tried to find out if I could make those changes myself, but after
much clicking and searching, I could only find:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html but that doesn't say anything
about contributing to the documentation.

Even so, it does apply to the documentation as well.

Yes, exactly.
The basic workflow is pretty simple.
C-x C-f ~/org-from-git/doc/org.texi RET
[hack hack hack]
C-x v =
C-x s enhance-documentation-for-x.patch
then send the patch to the list.
Other workflows (with git-format-patch) are preferred but this is the
simplest one.
Thanks in advance for the patch!

Actually, it is
#+ATTR_LATEX: :float t

According to the manual, the first described value for :float is:
− ‘t’: if you want to use the standard ‘figure’ environment. It is
used by default if you provide a caption to the image.

That's not quite true. It can be anything but nil, depending on what you
want (e.g., :float wrap).
