Hi Christer
good that you brought this email back to live.
A small analysis with an MWE:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+OPTIONS: toc:nil latex-use-sans:t
* Prueba
,#+ATTR_LATEX: :caption Una \verb@Prueba@ =terminal=
[[/home/paag/Documents/emacs-conf/2026/rebelde/DEC_VT220.jpg]]
#+END_SRC
will produce the following {document} block in LaTeX:
#+BEGIN_SRC latex
\begin{document}
\section{Prueba}
\label{sec:org8bfe269}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{/home/paag/Documents/emacs-conf/2026/rebelde/DEC_VT220.jpg}
Una \verb@Prueba@ =terminal=
\end{figure}
\end{document}
#+END_SRC
I observe
1.- There is no \caption{} there, the text just follows the image (needs 2
be fixed)
2.- There is no translation from Org markup, everything is copied as is
Best ,/PA
