[O] Space around tables in LaTeX export?

2014-02-14 Thread Peter Davis
I'm trying to export a document to PDF via LaTeX, but my tables appear with no 
preceding or trailing whitespace, even if I put several blank lines before and 
after. For example:

---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---
blah blah blahbeddy-blah and still more blah


|+--+|
|| Some | Stuff  |
|+--+|
| First row  | yes  | n/a|
| 2nd row| no   | maybe  |
|+--+|


blah blah blahbeddy-blah and still more blah
---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---

In the resulting PDF, there's no space between the table and the surrounding 
text.

I couldn't find anything here 
[[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html#sec-13]] on how 
to fix this.

Thanks!

how about

#+BEGIN_LATEX
\vspace{/somelength}/
#+END_LATEX

Ok, but I was hoping for a more org-mode-y solution.

Thanks!

It will become a float if you give it a caption.  That's probably what
you want.  You can still force it to be at a particular location.

Ah! Yes, that works, even with a blank caption.

Thank you!
