Hi all,

From the commit:

e0bc2b37f :: lisp/ox-latex.el: Allow arbitrary float environments

The `t' option for `:float' in tables and images is no longer valid.
That is, something like

#+ATTR_LaTeX: :float t
[[file:foo.jpg]]

would create in LaTeX export:

\begin{t}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{foo.jpg}
\end{t}

I am attaching a patch to update those changes to the Manual.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Thanks. Note you need to add two spaces between sentences.

However, isn't it a bug? Shouldn't t value default to "figure"
environment, if only for the sake of backward compatibility?

Hi Nicolas,

Ah, sorry, I hadn't noticed that :-). The thing is that I have in my
~/.emacs `sentence-end-double-space' set to nil.

I think you're right. t value should be figure and table, I agree. Would
it be appropriate to add these two lines:

In org-latex--inline-image:

((string= float "t") 'figure)

And in org-latex--decorate-table

((string= float "t") "table")

?

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Yes, .dir-locals.el files contains (sentence-end-double-space . t).
Somehow, you are not evaluating it.

Hi,

I am attaching an updated version of the patch, which retrieves the
`t' value for `:float' in tables and figures. The necessary information in
the Manual is also updated.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
