Hi John,
this solution using tables was indeed inspired from your post, I am so
sorry, I should have refered to it...
I suppose that the feature has not been implemented yet. I am now thinking of
generating a panel with imagemagick before including it in the org buffer, for
example with
#+begin_src sh
convert +append image1.png image2.png panel.png
#+end_src
and hence
#+CAPTION:
[[panel.png]]
to have the two images side by side both in the buffer (with C-cxv) and the
latex pdf (within a figure environment).
Is there a cleaner org solution that I would have missed ?
Thanks again,
Martin
