Thanks for your input and the helpful summary. The stance in the second paragraph sounds like a sensible one. Given the desire to use the marginfigure environment has popped up a few times, I wonder if an ox-latex guru can suggest a user-end customization that would enable the use of that environment. I suppose an alternative is Rasmus's proposal of an :environment attribute for figures [*] that I mentioned in a sibling thread. [*]: https://yhetil.org/orgmode/878u31ycc5....@gmx.us/
