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)?

this src block (n.b. there is a backslash escaped n in the #+HEADER line
just before the #+ATTR - I hope it doesn't linewrap in email or gnus

Thanks. That gets me pretty close to what I want.

John,
Just curious. What advantage do you see in adding these attributes to the code block, and not directly to the result?

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.

Ouch! That is serious work!

Use a different wrapper for executing src block outside of exports.
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

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|
