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)?
