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. --001a11381400c6b4b704fc090e5b Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hi all,

After quite a bit of mucking around and f= inally resorting to checking the source code, I worked out how to wrap an i= mage in a figure environment without a caption.=C2=A0 The final solution

#+ATTR_LATEX: :float figure

was trivial, but the manual wasn'= t too helpful on this particular subject.

So others don't hav= e to go through the same troubles I think the manual could be slightly rewo= rded. 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.&qu= ot;

should be change to:

"You can also ask Org to export a= n image as a float without specifying a caption by setting the :float attribute <= b>to figure."

Also a summary of the the attribu= tes and their valid values, as is done for Latex tables would be useful.


Cheers,

Chris.

ps. I tried to find out if I could m= ake those changes myself, but after much clicking and searching, I could on= ly find: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html but that doesn'= t say anything about contributing to the documentation.
