Hello, Is it required by org syntax to separate short captions from body text?
In the following example: ------------------------------------ * ECM Some text that introduces this table. #+CAPTION[Short caption]: #+CAPTION: Longer caption | Foo | ------------------------------------ Latex export gives: ------------------------------------ ... Some text that introduces this table. \#+CAPTION[Short caption]: \begin{table}[htb] \caption{Longer caption} ... ------------------------------------ Adding an empty line between the text and short caption produces the expected results: ------------------------------------ * ECM Some text that introduces this table. #+CAPTION[Short caption]: #+CAPTION: Longer caption | Foo | ------------------------------------ ... Some text that introduces this table. \begin{table}[htb] \caption[Short caption]{Longer caption} ... ------------------------------------ A regular (i.e. non-short) caption works regardless of the empty line: ------------------------------------ * ECM Some text that introduces this table. #+CAPTION: A caption | Foo | ------------------------------------ Some text that introduces this table. \begin{table}[htb] \caption{A caption} ------------------------------------ Regards, Jake
