Hi @gpetrini,
I've been meaning to clean up this repo for about 4 years but haven't come around to. The issues here (to my understanding) is that you are using latex syntax instead of org-mode syntax, which means that the latex is not parsed by org-mode during inclusion, and is copied as is. I would suggest mixing org-mode include and latex include, since that only increases complexity. Potential solutions:
Let me know how that goes.

Hi @dangom, Thank you for your quick response. I tried to wrap my tables in export blocks as you suggested and it worked! However, I still cannot include figures in the thessis. This is unexpected because I am using the org-syntax in this case.
Here is the code:
#+caption: Expectational Vs. effective aggregate market-share (synthetic data)
#+attr_latex: :label ch_dotcom_fig_artificial_bubble :placement [htb]
[[file:./figs/Ch_DotCom_Stylized_Bubble.pdf]]```
Do you have any suggestions?
What's your Emacs/org-mode version?
It is exported as latex does not find the image path. In the research paper, it works, but not on the thesis.
Here is one example
As a workaround, I am duplicating the figures in two folders, but this does not seems to be an org-modeish way of solving it.
No, the inclusion should work. There was an old bug with org-mode that would lead to this happening. I fixed it some 4,5 years ago, that's why I was wondering whether you weren't running an older org-mode version.
So you are using the org-mode inclusion mechanism and your path is not being updated? Does this work if you use non-pdfs as figures? Does this work if you remove the attr_latex
?
I am using org-mode version 9.6, so I think your fix is included.
For including figure, I am using the link syntax as in your example and the path is not updated.
I tried using png, using #+include
syntax and remove attr_latex
and got the same result :(
I guess that the problem is related to how org translate its own syntax to latex.
The code that I sent to you earlier is the following in thesis.tex
:
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{./figs/Ch_DotCom_Stylized_Bubble.png}
\caption{\label{ch_dotcom_fig_artificial_bubble}Expectational Vs. effective aggregate market-share (synthetic data)}
\end{figure}
I gues that the path is not being updated as you mentioned.
Can you get the thesis.org example to compile properly? Run C-c C-e l p
on thesis.org?
It works at my end and updates the path from the image at the research chapter. Both thesis and manuscript work.
Do you get the same issue there?
Yep, I get the same issue here.
Aparently, the path is not updated. Here is the error message:
Unable to read file "/home/gpetrini/Documents/org-thesis/thesis/manuscript.setup" [6 times]

org-latex-headline: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil
The first line suggest that it is looking for a file inside thesis
, but it should be looked insed research-chapter
.
I don't know if it helps, but I am using doom emacs.
I cannot reproduce. To debug this at your end I would call edebug-defun
on org-export--prepare-file-contents
, and then check what's going on by exporting the thesis to pdf and then stepping through the link conversion with edebug.
I tried what you mention and I have no clues. It seems that none of the paths are updated.
For example, if a have a #+setupfile:manuscript.setup
inside manuscript
folder, it works fine for the research paper.
However, the thesis.org
file searches for a #+setupfile:manuscript.setup
as it is, not updating the path.
Update: I was able to reproduce your pdf by just adapting the thesis.setup file. Thus, the problem is not related to org or emacs I guess. Possibly, I need to adjust the files at my end. Do you have any suggestion on how to debug it?
Thanks for your help.
I think I figured it out.
My research-paper.org
file also have #+include
s.
So, I think org prepares the relative links for the research-paper.org
file and uses it as it is in the thesis.org
.
Do you know how to add more recursive links?
Fell free to close this issue.
Please open an issue with a simple example of the bug at the org mailing list, so devs can help. We'll keep this issue open until that gets fixed.
I came up with a simple workaround.
Inside thesis.org
I just replicated the contents (which have other includes) of research_paper.org
and adjusted the path for each paper section.
It is not ideial, but with that I do not need to create symbolic links.
I would just open an issue upstream; this seems like an easy fix. Here's where to submit: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-mailing-list.html
Ok, I've just sent it. I'll update this issue as soon as I get some answer.
Brilliant. Thanks for reporting and thanks for contributing to org-mode! Good luck with your thesis!
First of all, thank you a lot for this repo!
There is one thing that I cannot manage yet: how do you deal with relative paths?
For example, let's say that I have a folder
thesis
and a subfolder calledresearch-chapter
. In addition, I have a latex table (I cannot create it with org synthax) in./thesis/research-chapter/tabs/table.tex
. Inside./research-chapter/manuscript.org
I used\input{./tabs/table.tex}
However, it is not detected by
./thesis/thesis.org
(which has#+include:./research-chapter/manuscript.org
). I tried to generate symbolic links, but this not seems to be a good solution. Do you recommend to use absolute paths instead?If my pseudo-coded is not clear, I can provide the real file.
Thank you once more
