I've taken to typing scores and brief comments into an org table when grading my students papers. In order to extract the scores and comments for each individual student, I use orgtbl-aggregate as follows (the student's nickname in this case is assumed to be "tophat", and the table containing all the scores and comments is names "everyone"):
#+BEGIN: aggregate :table "everyone" :cols "Last First Exercise Pts Comments" :cond (equal Nickname "tophat") #+END This creates a new table by extracting the Last, First, Exercise, Pts, and Comments columns (with headers) and only the rows with "tophat" in the Nickname column. My problem is that I need to have the following header on each of the individual tables in order for them to print out properly: #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment tabularx :width \textwidth :align lllrX If I start with #+BEGIN: aggregate :table "everyone" :cols "Last First Exercise Pts Comments" :cond (equal Nickname "tophat") #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment tabularx :width \textwidth :align lllrX #+END then C-c C-c causes the table to appear but the ATTR_LATEX line is wiped out. If instead I start with #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment tabularx :width \textwidth :align lllrX #+BEGIN: aggregate :table "everyone" :cols "Last First Exercise Pts Comments" :cond (equal Nickname "tophat") #+END then the #+ATTR_LATEX: line is ignored in exporting. I've been manually pasting the #+ATTR_LATEX: in after extracting the tables, but there must be a better way to do this. Any advice will be appreciated. FWIW, I realize that I probably don't need orgtbl-aggregate for this. Also, my ideal solution would be to auto-generate the sub-tables by looping over the nicknames, simultaneously inserting a section header with the student's name before each sub-table and a "#+LATEX: \newpage" line after. Hints along these lines would be welcome.
