the following page from the official manual http://orgmode.org/manual/Images-in-LaTeX-export.html
says #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=5cm,angle=90 however, the new exporter does not recognize this syntax. instead the following works: #+ATTR_LaTeX: :width 5cm I was learning about this by guessing around for some time ... it is surprisingly hard to edebug the export process (any hints?). next, the following educated guess does not work: #+ATTR_LaTeX: :width 5cm :angle 90 instead one needs to say #+ATTR_LaTeX: :width 5cm,angle 90 I am not sure whether these changes are very intuitive, or more intuitive than the old style. but, the changes interfere with the aim to have reproducible documents. now, I am ready to convert all my old documents to the new syntax. Would someone share a (elisp/sed/perl/other) macro that reliably goes through old org-mode files and converts the part of the syntax which is not compatible with the new exporter? [it is easy to convert (width=) to (:width) in lines that start with #+ATTR_LaTeX: but this is not the full story. Such a macro could then be applied to update the manual ... cheers Thomas
