Berry 0 siblings, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: John Kitchin @ 2015-11-21 13:55 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Org Mode Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out a way to automatically add some attributes to tables generated from code blocks. These aren't the same all the time, but some typical things I would want to do is specify some tables to be longtable, or set the placements, alignments, etc... I know of http://orgmode.org/manual/post.html#post which works for non-table output well, but with tables, adding the text makes the output not render as a table anymore. For example: #+name: attr_wrap #+begin_src sh :var data="" :results output echo "#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable" echo $data #+end_src #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :post attr_wrap(*this*) (list (+ 2 4) 4 5) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable : 6 4 5 Does anyone know a way to have a code block output a table with attributes (besides printing them as strings with raw output)? -- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Berry I am running a search committee of 5 people. As applications come in, an org heading is created for each application, and I run a command to send one of the committee an email with a review rubric in it, and this command creates a subheading to put their review. We have 275 applications so far, so I am using code to aggregate results into tables. Now, I am generating reports that show what each person has reviewed. In the report, I make a table for each person in a code block that constructs the data for that person. I don't want to manually modify the results because there will be a lot of tables, and I have to update this reasonably often. HEre is what generates the table, it is a function that returns a list of results which on its own renders as a table just fine. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results (happ-reviewer-table "jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu") #+END_SRC would ideally output something like: #+RESULTS: #+tblname: kitchin-reviews #+attr_latex: :environment longtable #+caption: Reviews by Kitchin | the | table | I | generated| from a data result from my function that looked like: (table '("#+tblname: kitchin-reviews" "#+attr_latex: :environment longtable" "#+caption: Reviews by Kitchin") '(the table I generated)) i.e. of the form (table attrs data) And even better, on rerunning the code it would correctly replace it. I usually accomplish this with :results raw and some tedious printing to get what I want. That way is annoying to rerun because of the manual removal of the output. I just made up the syntax, and no doubt there are many other ways to achieve it. That is what I had in mind though. The tip Charles gave works for export, but the tables do not look too good for me in the org-document unless I run C-c ' on them to get them in org, and I also want them functional in the org-buffer too.

Something like this (with suitable tuning) should work: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun ex-aware-wrap () (if org-export-current-backend (concat "src org :exports results " ":results replace " "\n#+ATTR_LATEX: " ":environment longtable") "example")) #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results :wrap (ex-aware-wrap) (list (+ 1 2) 3 4) #+END_SRC HTH, Chuck ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Berry; +Cc: org-mode mailing list, Vikas Rawal Also an interesting approach! I never execute src blocks on export though (old habit of having expensive blocks, and the desire to know what the export looks like). This is close to what I want: #+name: el_attr #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data='(1 2 3) (org-babel-format-result (concat "#+tblname: test\n" "#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable\n" (orgtbl-to-generic (list data) (list :lstart "|" :lend "|" :sep "|" :fmt "%s")))) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: el_attr : #+tblname: test : |1|2|3| #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results :post el_attr(*this*) (list (+ 1 2) 3 3) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : #+tblname: test : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable : |3|3|3| But I cannot figure out how to get the results in org format. If I put :results org or raw in I get this output: #+RESULTS: #+tblname: test #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable |40|51|32|51|32|51|41| Charles C.
