I've created a path to add a new option to float properties for figures on
latex. This is my first change for org-mode, and I don't really sure if
this is the correct way to do it.
Thank you!
* lisp/ox-latex.el (org-latex--inline-image): Include margin option
to create marginfigure environment for figures. It's useful for tufte
latex class, where with this environment shows the figure in the margin.
I wondered if something like this had been proposed or discussed before.
Searching the list, I see a patch [0] very similar to yours from a
couple of months back that didn't get a response (author added to cc).
Further back, there is a thread about an exporter Thomas Dye (+cc) wrote
to handle marginfigure and some other Tufte-y things [1]. It looks like
the code is available at <https://github.com/tsdye/tufte-org-mode>,
though I'm not sure if it still works with the current Org.
As for the proposed patch, while I think the specific code change itself
looks fine, skimming through the above thread makes me think that adding
marginfigure to ox-latex.el without considering similar cases may not be
the right approach. What do others think?
