Bug in export orgtbl / LaTeX

Bug in export orgtbl / LaTeX

[AW]

Hi!

If I try to use orgtbl-mode in this file and export the orgtbl block inside the 
comment environment to the RECEIVE ORGTBL area, the LaTeX-file will not 
compile, because the numbering in the org-table is exported as

\begin{enumerate}
\item installment
\end{enumerate}

I'd say that inside tabulars numbers like "1." should not be considered as a 
part of a numbered list.

Regards,

Alexander

Things like this would make the syntax complicated and unpredictable

Nicolas has the last word of course, but if I were a betting man, I'd

Tssk, tssk. Don't be so pessimistic :)

`orgtbl-to-latex' doesn't use export framework at all, unlike to
`orgtbl-to-html'. One solution would be to change that:

  (defun orgtbl-to-latex (table params)
    "Convert the orgtbl-mode TABLE to LaTeX.
  TABLE is a list, each entry either the symbol `hline' for
  a horizontal separator line, or a list of fields for that line.
  PARAMS is ignored."
    (require 'ox-latex)
    (org-export-string-as
     (orgtbl-to-orgtbl table nil) 'latex t '(:with-tables t)))

However, we lose all PARAMS configuration (:splice t in particular).

Note that, according to Org syntax, "1." doesn't start a list, since
tables cannot contain lists.

Dear Nicolas,

isn't that quite a contradiction: according to org-syntax tables can not 
contain lists, but orgtbl-to-latex treats "1." inside a table as if it were a 
beginning of a list?

Besides that, thank you for your code, but as my MEW showed, I use things like 
:splice t . In fact, I do splice nearly every orgtbl into a frame on the 
LaTeX-side.

I have no idea, what to do, only thing I can say is that I use org-tables to 
draft contracts including paing by instalments, e.g. in dependence to progress 
of contstruction works. So things like "1. Instalment" happen. 

Kind regards,

Alexander

I might have a workaround.  How about rows like this:

  | 1 | Installment | 2000 |
  | 2 | Something   | 3000 |

Hope this helps,

Of course it is a contradiction. As, I wrote it, "orgtbl-to-latex"
interprets Org syntax differently, since it doesn't rely on Elements.

Take 2. We can implement back :splice property. The others are much less
useful.

  (defun orgtbl-to-latex (table params)
    "Convert the orgtbl-mode TABLE to LaTeX.
  TABLE is a list, each entry either the symbol `hline' for
  a horizontal separator line, or a list of fields for that line.
  PARAMS is a property list of parameters that can influence the
  conversion.  Currently this function recognizes the following
  parameters:

  :splice    When set to t, return only table body lines, don't wrap
             them into a \"tabular\" environment.  Default is nil."
    (require 'ox-latex)
    (let ((table-string (orgtbl-to-orgtbl table nil)))
      (if (not (plist-get params :splice))
          (org-export-string-as table-string 'latex t '(:with-tables t))
        ;; If :splice is non-nil, we create a temporary back-end,
        ;; `latex-tmp', derived from `latex', but with a transparent
        ;; table translator.
        (let ((org-export-registered-backends org-export-registered-backends))
          (org-export-define-derived-backend 'latex-tmp 'latex
            :translate-alist (list (cons 'table (lambda (e c i) c))))
          (org-export-string-as table-string 'latex-tmp t '(:with-tables t))))))

WDYT?

WDIT? Let's be carefull,  maybe I got it the wrong way: 

I put your "take 2" from "(defun ..." until "t))))))" into my .emacs 
(somewhere) and restarted Emacs.

Result: If I C-c C-c on the orgtbl from my example, the output still is full 
of 

\begin{enumerate}
\item installment
\end{enumerate}

So there is something wrong. 

But if I put your code into scratch and press C-M-x, change to the buffer with 
the *.tex-file and repeat C-c C-c on the orgtbl, it works properly.

I can live with that way. So WDIT: thank you very much!

Regards,

Alexander
