Hi all,
I have explained this issue in detail in this stackexchange question:
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/314/toc-of-tables-for-org-mode-long-tables
I found a sort of workable solution but it is not very practical.
In the process of making that solution workable without having to request
this feature from the org-mode team, I faced some org-mode macro
limitations.
*Unable to have nested macro replacement. The below is not possible.*
#+MACRO: LT_REF ref_longtable
#+MACRO: LT_TITLE This is a long table
#+MACRO: LT_HEADER1 Header 1
#+MACRO: LT_HEADER2 Header 2
{{{LT_HEADER({{{LT_REF}}}, {{{LT_TITLE}}}, {{{LT_HEADER1}}},
{{{LT_HEADER2}}})}}}
*Unable to use macros in #+NAME:. The below is not possible.*
#+NAME: {{{LT_REF}}}
We also can't have a MACRO that can expand to multi-line org-mode "#+"
syntax lines.
Example: I couldn'd find a way by which {{{SOME_MACRO}}} can expand to:
----
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :environment longtable
{{{LT_HEADER(ref_longtable, This is a long table, Header 1, Header 2)}}}
#+NAME: ref_longtable
----
What can be the best solution to get the longtables working with just one
TOC entry per table?
Can the org-mode macros code be improved to support the above use cases?
