There were two bugs:
1. Timestamp processing did not honor the setting of
`org-export-with-timestamps' in the text before the first
headline.
2. When `org-export-with-timestamps' was nil, time stamps were removed
even in tables. I think this is incorrect, so in tables, time
stamps are now never removed.

I'm have a *minor* issue to report. It occurs when I export
an org file with footnotes to LaTeX. Specifically, it has to
do with the combination of American style quotation marks
and footnotes.
According to many American manuals of style, quotation marks
are to be placed after a sentence ending period if the
quoted passage is at the end of the sentence. E.g.
,----
| Here is "a quote."
|
| not
|
| Here is "a quote".
`----
When I use American style quotation in conjuction with a
footnote, the exporter does not convert the closing quote
marks into a two single quotation marks (i.e., LaTeX smart
quotes).
Thus, the following source snippet:
,----
| This is a footnote "with a quote."[fn:sample] And here
| is another footnote "with a quote".[fn:another]
|
| [fn:sample] Here is the sample footnote.
|
| [fn:another] Another footnote.
`----
Becomes
,----
| This is a footnote ``with a quote."\footnote{Here is
| the sample footnote. } And here is another footnote ``with
| a quote''.\footnote{Another footnote. }
`----
Notice the double quotation mark (rather than two single
apostrophes) at the end of the first sentence. Notice also
the correct quotation mark format appears in the second
sentence, where the period comes after the quotation mark.
This commit addresses this issue by checking of text
protection is off not after the quotation mark, but before.
Two new variables, `org-export-html-inline-image-extensions' and
`org-export-latex-inline-image-extensions' now define the file
extensions that will be considered for inlining images. The default
for HTML is png, jpg, jpeg, and gif files. The default for LaTeX is
png, jpg, jpeg, and pdf, assuming processing with `pdflatex'.
For LaTeX export, this can lead to conflicts for links that point
to non-image PDF files. To avoid that such a link will be inlined by
accident, always give a description text for such a link, one that is
not equal to the path.
The special first column in some tables was not removed for LaTeX
export. This bug was probably introduces recently, while trying to
fix problems with special characters in LaTeX tables.
Export is now working again properly.
Reported by Giovanni Ridolfi.
Lines preceded by a colon are treated as fixed-width examples.
This commit improves the moment when the protection of these lines
happens during preprocessing. And it enforces that a space must
follow the colon for the line to be treated in this way.
1. Export hangs during LaTeX export. That was a bug using an empty
regular expression that was defined only locally in Org files, but
not in the buffer used by the LaTeX exporter.
2. Underscores in links can get special treatment by the LaTeX
exporter. Now the link is protected from this.
This commit removes some of the stuff that was specific for the LaTeX
exporter, and falls back to the default configuration that works for
all backends.
Here is what the commit does:
- The variable `org-export-latex-remove-from-headlines' is now
obsolete. Instead, also LaTeX export now responds to the settings
in the variables org-export-with-todo-keywords',
`org-export-with-priority', and `org-export-with-tags' and in the
corresponding OPTION settings.
- Removal of time stamps and related keywords now already happens in
the preprocessor, so that it will be perfectly the same for all
backends.
- The list functions have been extended to accept an additional
parameter list, to overrule the default setting for a particular
list function. This is used to make the checkbox appearance in
LaTeX configurable, through the new variable
`org-export-latex-list-parameters'.
This patch covers the three main backends, html, latex, and ascii. It
adds the code to make sure the coderef links identified by the
preprocessing will be implemented correctly when a backend does its work.
1. When LaTeX export was done with a time-stamped file, a format
error in the timestamp format caused the output file to not
have the % comment in front of the time string. As this line
is early in the file, a LaTeX error would result.
2. Replacement of some special characters could fail. Strangely
this shows up only in XEmacs, but it still is a bug.
Both bugs were reported by Hugh Daschbach.
Text inside tables did not receive the full treatment of handling sub-
and superscripts, and of special character quoting like %, &, and {}.
This patch does fix this, but I am worried that I am overlooking the
true reason why Bastien did switch off these conversions. We'll see
if and what this will break.
Exporting tables to LaTeX suffered from the problem that Org tables
are often long, but that the tabular environment in LaTeX cannot
handle long tables. This patch fixes this issue.
LaTeX export can now deal with very long tables, by setting an option
in the "ATTR_LaTeX:" line. Also, you can specify the alignment by
hand. Here is an example:
Also, table export now correctly deals with tables that start with a
hline. In such a case, also the LaTeX version will have this extra
hline before the first line.
Tables, and Hyperlinks that represent inlined images, can now be
equipped with additional information that will be used during
export. The information will be taken from the following special
lines in the buffer and apply to the first following table or
link.
- #+CAPTION: :: The caption of the image or table. This string
should be processed according to the export backend, but
this is not yet done.
- #+LABEL: :: A label to identify the figure/table for cross
references. For HTML export, this string will become the
ID for the `<div class="figure">' element that encapsulates
the image tag and the caption. For LaTeX export, this
string will be used as the argument of a `\label{...}'
macro. These lables will be available for internal links
like `[[label][Table] ]'.
- #+ATTR_HTML: :: Attributes for HTML export of image, to be
added as attributes into the `<img...>' tag. This string
will not be processed, so it should have immediately the
right format.
- #+ATTR_LaTeX: :: Attributes for LaTeX export of images, to
be inserted into the optional argument of the
`\includegraphics[...]{file}' command, to specify scaling,
clipping and other options. This string will not be
processed, so it should have immediately the right
format, like `width=5cm,angle=90'
For LaTeX export, if either a caption or a label is given, the
element will be exported as a float, i.e. wrapped into a figure
or table environment.
This patch improves the internal handling of the large number of
export options that Org-mode has. In particular, it now defines a
single constant, `org-export-plist-vars' that contains the full list
of options, and how these can be accessed through variables, and
through the #+OPTIONS line. Before the patch, there used to be a
separate list or the OPTIONS handling, which has gotten out of sync.
This now no longer can happen.
Also, this patch adds two new variables, `org-export-with-priority',
and `org-export-with-todo-keywords', which can be used to turn the
export of TODO keywords and priority cookies on and off, so that these
can simply disappear and not be shown in the exported file. In fact,
the default for the priority cookie is to remove it.
Org allows to define invisible anchors in a document in comment lines
like
If such a line is directly before or after a headline, previously this
anchor was removed, and all references to it were replaced with
references to the anchor that the headline had anyway.
Matthew Lundin pointed out that this makes it impossible to have
permanent links to headlines that can also be used from outside the
current page.
This patch changes his situation by adding the additional targets as
empty anchors to the section heading. If works by creating, during
preprocessing, an alist with targets that do have aliases. During
publishing, these aliases are looked up and converted into anchors.
In LaTeX export, these additional targets become additional labels.
