Re: Booktabs in new LaTeX exporter

[tsd@tsdye.com (Thomas S. Dye)]

Aloha RCY,

You can have this in your setup to enable booktabs globally:

  (setq org-e-latex-tables-booktabs t)

Or, you can give a table this attribute:

#+attr_latex: :booktabs t

I think your example should work if you add the t after :booktabs.

hth,
Tom
