Also an interesting approach! I never execute src blocks on export though (old habit of having expensive blocks, and the desire to know what the export looks like).
This is close to what I want: #+name: el_attr #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data='(1 2 3) (org-babel-format-result (concat "#+tblname: test\n" "#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable\n" (orgtbl-to-generic (list data) (list :lstart "|" :lend "|" :sep "|" :fmt "%s")))) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: el_attr : #+tblname: test : |1|2|3| #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results :post el_attr(*this*) (list (+ 1 2) 3 3) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : #+tblname: test : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable : |3|3|3| But I cannot figure out how to get the results in org format. If I put :results org or raw in I get this output: #+RESULTS: #+tblname: test #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable |40|51|32|51|32|51|41| Charles C.
