A block like this:

#+attr_latex: :placement [H]
#+caption: A test block
#+BEGIN_SRC ipython
'hello'
#+END_SRC

exports to latex as:

\begin{listing}[htbp]
\begin{minted}[frame=lines,fontsize=\scriptsize,linenos]{ipython}
'hello'
\end{minted}
\caption{A test block}
\end{listing}

The root of this is in  org-latex-src-block where (plist-get info
:latex-default-figure-position) is being used to specify the placement.

It seems like a sort of easy fix, but requires a couple of changes in the
function.

I think we could replace all instances of

(plist-get info :latex-default-figure-position)

with

(or (plist-get attributes :placement)
   (format "[%s]"
   (plist-get info :latex-default-figure-position)))

and also replace everything like:

\\begin{figure*}[%s]

with

\\begin{figure*}%s

I don't see a way around that unless :latex-default-figure-position is
changed from "htbp" to "[htbp]".

Thoughts?

John

True. LaTeX back-end doesn't handle :placement attribute in source blocks.

Why (format "[%s]" ...)?

I fail to see why this change is needed.

Do you want to propose a patch? The manual would need to be updated
accordingly.

That isn't changed from what is already in ox-latex, e.g. line 2367.

org-latex-default-figure-position is defined as "htbp"

where as :placement is usually defined as "[H]". One has brackets, and
one doesn't. This is reflected in ox-latex too.

For example in this code (line 3219. ox-latex.el)

(or (plist-get attr :placement)
	      (format "[%s]" (plist-get info
	      :latex-default-figure-position)))

it is implied that :latex-default-figure-position does not have
brackets, but that (plist-get attr :placement) does since it is later
used in line 3259 as:

(format "\\begin{%s}%s\n" float-env placement)

So, it seems like one either has to add [] to the default
org-latex-default-figure-position, or put them in the template, or
change how the :placement value is used. It doesn't seem like we can
have it both ways without testing if there are brackets or not. It also
doesn't seem right to modify org-latex-default-figure-position just to
get float listings to be "[H]" for src blocks.

Do you see another way to solve this?

OK. Note that Org provides `org-unbracket-string'.
