Re: [PATCH] Add margin option to float for figure in ox-latex.el

[Louis Gostiaux]

Hi all,

Kyle could you please redirect also to Pablo's patch ? Couldn't find it.

That's also great that an exporter for tufte exists. However, as far as 
I understood, marginfigure is not exclusevely usedby tufte. I guess the 
marginfigure environment coule be supported in the generic latex export, 
and the tufte export could simply focus on the environments specific to 
tufte ?

That's great you found my post. At the time Bastien Guerry had replied, 
but no news since then.

Louis.
