Dear Org-mode people,
I have an Org mode document containing a longtable, which has its
heading row split over two lines. Exporting this to Latex doesn't work.
What's the output of =M-x org-version= ?
If it's 7.9.4f, you're on the new exporter, and syntax has changed.
Here's a really small example (for which I wouldn't need longtable,
but you get the point):
#+ATTR_LaTeX: longtable align=|r|r|
|---+-|
| First | Age |
| Name | (years) |
|---+-|
| Bob | 6 |
| Dave | 7 |
| Wendy | 9 |
|---+-|
Try this:
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :environment longtable :align |r|r|
The PDF document is missing the first line of the header. Looking at
the Latex file which is generated, there appear to be too many
(i.e. 2) instances of \endhead (but I'm no expert on longtables in
Latex).
Your example with the #+attr_latex line above gives this:
#+begin_src latex
\begin{longtable}{|r|r|}
\toprule
First Age\\
Name (years)\\
\midrule
\endhead
...
...
#+end_src
Keep in mind I'm using booktabs, so instead of \[top/mid]rule, you'd
get \hline with a default setup. Things look decent to me in the
output.
If you're on the old exporter, see here for upgrading:

Good luck!

It's important that I get this working, or find a work-around.
Any suggestions?
cheers,
Simon
