Re: [PATCH] LaTeX export: arbitrary float environments

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Timothy,

Thanks for your kind response.

Sorry for the clumsy patch, which I guess would also benefit from 
an addition to the manual, as well?

Larger question: do we really want to tinker with ob-latex in this 
way?  Or, should changes like this patch follow a path indicated 
by Tim Cross and into their own package, say ob-latex-ex, which 
might someday replace ob-latex if it proved useful and stable?

All the best,
Tom
