Although as Andreas said, something backend-agnostic to specify meta-data could still make sense at some point, which each backend could choose to implement as reasonable or ignore. You're right that setting LaTeX to add [Author] is probably not one of those cases. Cheers, /v > > > Regards, > > -- > Nicolas Goaziou

If, for example, we need to add options for the HTML back-end, there will be a syntax conflict. The rule is the following: - If the toggle are global, allow them on the block opening string (i.e. src-block and code toggles) - For back-end specific value, use attributes.

Exporting to multiple backends takes more efforts than I'd like, anyway. So I try to avoid that and concentrate on one backend per project. I'd just rather like to see the differences decrease -- not increase ;-) - Andreas

I was not aware of that possibility in the old exporter. Neat!

Even if it *was* LaTeX only, shouldn't it be up to the backend to
provide translation of such arguments? I'd vote for the shorter version
to have a (possibly future) backend-agnostic version.
Just my 2ct.

There's no right way at the moment: I forgot to implement this.
Anyway, since this feature was LaTeX only, what do you think about the
following syntax (which doesn't work yet):
#+attr_latex: :options [Newton]
#+begin_theorem
Blah.
#+end_theorem
It is heavier but it seems more consistent to me.

[O] LaTeX export: Theorem with an author
Hi,
How to generate latex code for a theorem with an author, like this:
\begin{theorem}[Newton]
Blah.
\end{theorem}
With the old exporter, you could do this:
#+BEGIN_theorem Newton
Blah.
#+END_theorem
(possibly with brackets, not sure) but now the rest of the #+BEGIN_ line is
ignored ... This works:
#+BEGIN_theorem
[Newton]
Blah.
#+END_theorem
but it is more by accident than anything else. What would be the right way?
Thanks,
/v
