[O] Why does export of images to LaTeX requires either org-special-blocks or org-jsinfo?

[Francesco Pizzolante]

Hi,

I have noticed that the correct export of images in LaTeX requires one of
these 2 packages: org-special-blocks or org-jsinfo.

While I cannot see any relation between these packages and the export of
images in LaTeX, if none of these 2 packages is loaded then images are
exported as \href instead of \includegraphics, in other words, as links
instead of images.

Here's the code I used to check this:

    ╭────
    │ (setq org-modules nil)
    │ ;;(require 'org-special-blocks)
    │ ;;(require 'org-jsinfo)
    ╰────

Please let me know if you have any explanation to this behaviour.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
 Francesco
