I was just playing around with the new syntax for accessing sidewaystable in Org 8.0, but it doesn't seem to be working. The manual /seems/ pretty straightforward: - http://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-specific-attributes.html
":placement Float environment for the table. Possible values are sidewaystable, multicolumn, t and nil. When unspecified, a table with a caption will have atable environment. Moreover, :placement attribute can specify the positioning of the float. " Here's a test document: * Heading #+attr_latex: :placement sidewaystable | *alpha* | *beta* | *gamma* | *delta* | |---------+--------+---------+---------| | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | | 200 | 100 | 17.321 | 133.3 | | 400 | 50 | 4.162 | 44.4 | | 800 | 25 | 2.040 | 14.8 | Minimal config loaded with `emacs -Q`: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/contrib/lisp/") (require 'ox-latex) The resultant table is not inside of \begin/end{sidewaystable}: \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{rrrr} \textbf{alpha} & \textbf{beta} & \textbf{gamma} & \textbf{delta}\\ \hline 100 & 200 & 300 & 400\\ 200 & 100 & 17.321 & 133.3\\ 400 & 50 & 4.162 & 44.4\\ 800 & 25 & 2.040 & 14.8\\ \end{tabular} \end{center} The heading contains \usepackage{rotating}, but it's not calling for sidewaystable anyway, so that shouldn't matter. Thanks for any suggestions. John
