allow table* specification with #+ATTR_LaTeX:

[Eric Schulte]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 478 bytes --]

Hi,

The attached patch allows the use of table* latex tables from within Org
mode documents using the attr_latex lines, for example

#+CAPTION: A wide table
#+LABEL: tbl:wide
#+ATTR_LaTeX: table* align=l|lp{3cm}r|l
| ... | ... |
| ... | ... |

Should this be added, or should we put together a more general solution
for different types of table environments?  Currently only longtable is
supported.  Also, is there already a way to do this that I have missed?

Thanks -- Eric

Re: allow table* specification with #+ATTR_LaTeX:

[Thomas S. Dye]

Hi Eric,

It would be great to have a more general solution.  Tables are hard to  
typeset, so it might take a while to come up with a good  
specification.  Here is what I know about the LaTeX side of things.

** LaTeX destinations for an Org-mode table
*** Environments for typesetting a table
     - table placed in the output where it occurs in the input
     - all of these environments can be used on their own
**** tabular
      standard LaTeX environment, doesn't break across pages, no caption
**** tabularx
      extended environment that can automatically calculate column
      widths and wrap text within table cells, doesn't break across
      pages, no caption
**** tabulary
      like tabularx, but tries harder to come up with optimal column  
widths
**** supertabular
      extended tabular environment that breaks across pages, includes
      caption
**** supertabular*
      like supertabular, but for wide tables in a multicolumn page
      layout
**** mpsupertabular
      like supertabular, but also handles footnotes within the table
**** mpsupertabular*
      like mpsupertabular, but for multicolumn page layouts
**** longtable
      extended tabular environment that breaks across pages and
      includes a caption, but can't be used in a multicolumn page
      layout
*** Environment for floating a table and adding a caption
     floats a table typeset by some other environment to a place in the
     output that LaTeX determines appropriate, probably not where it
     occurs in the input
**** =table=, single column document
      typically wraps a =tabular=, =tabularx=, or =tabulary= environment
**** =table*=, multi-column document
      typically wraps a =tabular=, =tabularx=, or =tabulary= environment
*** "Typical" uses
     In our report production work we regularly use seven setups:
     - table or table* wrapped around tabularx or tabular
     - longtable
     - tabular or tabularx on their own

hth,
Tom

Re: allow table* specification with #+ATTR_LaTeX:

[Eric Schulte]

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the informative list.  I had no idea LaTeX supported so many
table options.  How about I update the patch so that is supports the
following sets of mutually exclusive options...
- longtable :: wraps the table in a longtable with no table or tabular
               wrappers -- already implemented
- table* :: replaces =table= wrapper with =table*= wrapper, contains an
            inner tabular wrapper
- tabular[xy] :: specifies the inner tabular wrapping environment, only
                 one can be specified

so for example, the following

#+begin_src org
  #+CAPTION: A wide table
  #+LABEL: tbl:wide
  #+ATTR_LaTeX: table* tabulary align=l|lp{3cm}r|l
  | ... | ... |
  | ... | ... |
#+end_src

results in the following

#+begin_src latex
  \begin{table*}[htb]
  \caption{A wide table} \label{tbl:wide}
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabulary}{l|lp{3cm}r|l}
   1  &  2  &  3  \\
   4  &  5  &  6  \\
  \end{tabulary}
  \end{center}
  \end{table*}
#+end_src

Then the next question would be how to insert a =figure*= instead of a
simple =figure= environment.

Thanks -- Eric

Re: allow table* specification with #+ATTR_LaTeX:

[Eric Schulte]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1138 bytes --]

The attached patch implements the behavior described previously, so for
example the following org

#+begin_src org
  #+CAPTION: A wide table with tabulary
  #+LABEL: tbl:wide
  #+ATTR_LaTeX: table* tabulary align=l|lp{3cm}r|l
  | 1 | 2 | 3 |
  | 4 | 5 | 6 |

  #+CAPTION: A normal table with tabularx
  #+LABEL: tbl:wide
  #+ATTR_LaTeX: table tabularx align=l|lp{3cm}r|l
  | 1 | 2 | 3 |
  | 4 | 5 | 6 |
#+end_src

exports to the following latex

#+begin_src latex
  \begin{table*}[htb]
  \caption{A wide table with tabulary} \label{tbl:wide}
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabulary}{l|lp{3cm}r|l}
   1  &  2  &  3  \\
   4  &  5  &  6  \\
  \end{tabulary}
  \end{center}
  \end{table*}


  \begin{table}[htb]
  \caption{A normal table with tabularx} \label{tbl:wide}
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabularx}{l|lp{3cm}r|l}
   1  &  2  &  3  \\
   4  &  5  &  6  \\
  \end{tabularx}
  \end{center}
  \end{table}
#+end_src

Does this behavior and patch look reasonable?  If I don't hear by the
end of the day I will apply this patch, I just wanted to check first on
list as the export mechanisms aren't my personal area of expertise.

Thanks -- Eric

Re: allow table* specification with #+ATTR_LaTeX:

[Thomas S. Dye]

Hi Eric,

The syntax for tabularx and tabulary includes a width specification  
that is a required argument:

\begin{tabulary}{<width>}{<align>} ... \end{tabulary}
\begin{tabularx}{<width>}{<align>} ... \end{tabularx}

This is typically set to something like \linewidth, \colwidth, or  
\textwidth, but might also take an absolute length like 250pt, 5in, etc.

All the best,
Tom

Re: allow table* specification with #+ATTR_LaTeX:

[Eric Schulte]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1171 bytes --]

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the pointer, how about this revised version of the patch.  It
takes the following inputs

#+begin_src org
  #+CAPTION: A wide table with tabulary
  #+LABEL: tbl:wide
  #+ATTR_LaTeX: table* tabulary[\textwidth] align=l|lp{3cm}r|l
  | 1 | 2 | 3 |
  | 4 | 5 | 6 |

  #+CAPTION: A normal table with tabularx
  #+LABEL: tbl:wide
  #+ATTR_LaTeX: table tabularx[\textwidth] align=l|lp{3cm}r|l
  | 1 | 2 | 3 |
  | 4 | 5 | 6 |
#+end_src

and yields the following output

#+begin_src latex
  \begin{table*}[htb]
  \caption{A wide table with tabulary} \label{tbl:wide}
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabulary}{\textwidth}{l|lp{3cm}r|l}
   1  &  2  &  3  \\
   4  &  5  &  6  \\
  \end{tabulary}
  \end{center}
  \end{table*}


  \begin{table}[htb]
  \caption{A normal table with tabularx} \label{tbl:wide}
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{l|lp{3cm}r|l}
   1  &  2  &  3  \\
   4  &  5  &  6  \\
  \end{tabularx}
  \end{center}
  \end{table}
#+end_src

I'm not sure about the square bracket syntax, maybe curly would be
preferable.  Definitely open to suggestions.

Should this be applied?  Are there any obvious areas for improvement?

Thanks -- Eric

Re: allow table* specification with #+ATTR_LaTeX:

[Thomas S. Dye]

Hi Eric,

A syntax like this, with a width attribute, seems most like Org-mode  
to me:

#+ATTR_LaTeX table* tabularx width=\textwidth align=llXrl

If that isn't a reasonable possibility, then, yes, the square brackets  
should be changed.  These represent optional arguments in LaTeX.  The  
width argument is required by tabularx and tabulary, not optional, so  
it looks like an error from a LaTeX point of view.  Changing the  
square brackets to curly brackets in this case would have the  
advantage of looking a lot like the underlying LaTeX.

All the best,
Tom

Re: allow table* specification with #+ATTR_LaTeX:

[Eric Schulte]

Hi Tom,

Thanks for all you help on this front.  I've just pushed up the patch
with your suggested syntax (which is much better than my original).  It
allows the following behavior.

The following org
#+begin_src org
  #+CAPTION: A wide table with tabulary
  #+LABEL: tbl:wide
  #+ATTR_LaTeX: table* tabulary width=\textwidth align=l|lp{3cm}r|l
  | 1 | 2 | 3 |
  | 4 | 5 | 6 |

  #+CAPTION: A normal table with tabularx
  #+LABEL: tbl:wide
  #+ATTR_LaTeX: table tabularx width=\textwidth align=l|lp{3cm}r|l
  | 1 | 2 | 3 |
  | 4 | 5 | 6 |

  and now a simple table

  | 1 | 2 | 3 |
  | 4 | 5 | 6 |
#+end_src

exports to the following tex
#+begin_src latex
  \begin{table*}[htb]
  \caption{A wide table with tabulary} \label{tbl:wide}
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabulary}{\textwidth}{l|lp{3cm}r|l}
   1  &  2  &  3  \\
   4  &  5  &  6  \\
  \end{tabulary}
  \end{center}
  \end{table*}


  \begin{table}[htb]
  \caption{A normal table with tabularx} \label{tbl:wide}
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{l|lp{3cm}r|l}
   1  &  2  &  3  \\
   4  &  5  &  6  \\
  \end{tabularx}
  \end{center}
  \end{table}


  and now a simple table


  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabular}{rrr}
   1  &  2  &  3  \\
   4  &  5  &  6  \\
  \end{tabular}
  \end{center}
#+end_src


Thanks -- Eric

Re: allow table* specification with #+ATTR_LaTeX:

[Thomas S. Dye]

Hi Eric,

This is a very nice addition to the LaTeX exporter.   It opens up a  
lot of LaTeX to Org-mode users.

Users unfamiliar with LaTeX might be interested to know that standard  
LaTeX typesets captions as if they are beneath the captioned item.   
This means that the vertical spacing is wrong for captions set above  
tables.  The last time I checked, the correction in standard LaTeX  
involved a separate macro, topcaption, to use only with captions set  
above the item.

The Koma scripts solve this problem in a way that is convenient for  
Org-mode.  The option captions=tableheading causes the script to make  
the caption macro aware of its position relative to the captioned  
item, so that the proper vertical spacing can be applied in every case.

All the best,
Tom
