Bug: LaTeX export of table with caption broken

Bug: LaTeX export of table with caption broken

[Jens Lechtenboerger]

Hi there,

when exporting a table with caption to LaTeX on the master branch,
invalid code is generated.

Example Org file:

#+CAPTION: Some text
| Col1 | Col2 |
|------+------|
| foo  | bar  |

The resulting tex file contains this, without table environment,
which is necessary for the use of captions:

begin{center}
\caption{Some text}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
Col1 & Col2\\
\hline
foo & bar\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

The above happens on the current master branch, but did already
happen last month on the next branch:
Org mode version 9.2 (release_9.2-193-ge7901c @ /usr/share/emacs/24.5/site-lisp/org/)
Org mode version 9.1.14 (release_9.1.14-1178-gdd26f0 @ /usr/share/emacs/24.5/site-lisp/org/)

In contrast, Org mode version 9.1.9 (release_9.1.9-65-g5e4542)
shipping with Emacs is fine, creating the following:

\begin{table}[htbp]
\caption{Some text}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ll}
Col1 & Col2\\
\hline
foo & bar\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}


Best wishes
Jens

Wow, that was lightning fast.

Many thanks!

Nicolas,

tables without captions now seem to export to tabulars within table
environments, which they did not do before.  That is, before, a simple
table with no document exported to just a tabular environment.  This
change is breaking many of my documents.  Did I miss something or is
this unintended behaviour due to the recent changes to table handling?

If I add :float nil attribute, everything is fine but it means updating
many documents.  (although tabular environment now centred but maybe it
was before as well -- cannot be sure)

Thanks,
eric

I cannot reproduce it. E.g.,

    | a |

becomes

    \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{l}
    \toprule
    a\\
    \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
    \end{center}

Would you have an ECM?

I did try essentially the same minimal example as you and it did not
work (i.e. table was wrapped in a table environment). I did not try with
emacs -Q however. I will do so when back on the system that has latest
org later today but, in the meantime, any idea what setting could affect
this behaviour?

thanks,

Strangely, with attached ECM and emacs -Q, I have this problem.  See
attached resulting LaTeX.

Odd. Even with a minimal init file (i.e, I only loading Org), I cannot
reproduce it.

Guessing the culprit is c28eb3c2cb904666594e40c1dcae4437d954bde4.
It seems that the caption is an empty string but the code tests whether
it's nil and since it isn't, it assumes there is a caption and makes it
into a floating table.

Thanks Nicolas.  It is indeed strange.  I will play some more when I get
a chance (bogged down with work at the moment).  As I have a way around
the problem, there's no worry.  I'll report back when I figure this out!

OK. I fixed that, even though I cannot reproduce the issue.

Thank you.

Thank you! Just updated and tested: there is no more floating table without a caption
(and there *is* one with a caption). I do wonder why Eric and I could see it and
you could not, but some mysteries will remain despite one's best efforts :-)

BTW, I also tested the RET/<return> fix and Bernt's example (checkboxes in a list with M-S-RET - or is it M-S-<return>?) works for me now.

Thanks! (again)

Thanks!  Works fine now.  Strange that you could not reproduce it.

Out of curiosity, I wonder if it's related to the version of Emacs?  I'm
using emacs-snapshot on Debian.

Don't know: I use (haven't updated emacs for a while)

GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 3, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.26) of 2018-11-12
Org mode version 9.2 (release_9.2-209-gdeb5c4 @ /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/lisp/)

on Fedora 27 (I know: no longer supported - need to move to Fedora 29 pronto!).
