I'm trying to export a document to PDF via LaTeX, but my tables appear with no preceding or trailing whitespace, even if I put several blank lines before and after. For example:
---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---
blah blah blahbeddy-blah and still more blah
|------------+------+--------|
| | Some | Stuff |
|------------+------+--------|
| First row | yes | n/a |
| 2nd row | no | maybe |
|------------+------+--------|
blah blah blahbeddy-blah and still more blah
---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---
In the resulting PDF, there's no space between the table and the surrounding text.
I couldn't find anything here [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html#sec-13]] on how to fix this.
Thanks!

#+BEGIN_LATEX
\vspace{/somelength}/
#+END_LATEX

How much are you looking for? I just exported (emacs -Q with minimal
config, see attached) and get one blank line before and after. Is this
what you get, or are you stating that you get literally *no*
whitespace? If you just want more, then Charles' suggestion is the
easiest way to go, and what I use. You can reduce the verbosity
slightly with:
#+begin_src org
blah blah blah...
#+latex: \vspace{1cm}
| table |
#+latex: \vspace{1cm}
blah blah blah...
Best regards,
John

Ok, but I was hoping for a more org-mode-y solution.
Thanks!

It will become a float if you give it a caption. That's probably what
you want. You can still force it to be at a particular location.

Correction

Ah! Yes, that works, even with a blank caption.
Thank you!
