In the past, I have exported org-mode source code blocks into LaTeX floating environments, without any problems.

At some point (I have no idea when), this behavior has changed for me.

  1. The org manual says :float t is the default if the source block has a caption, but I get no \begin{figure} in the exported output.

    #+name: a
    #+caption: abc
    #+BEGIN_SRC SuperCollider -i
    abc.play;
    #+END_SRC
    

    -->

    \lstset{language=SuperCollider,label=a,caption={abc},captionpos=b,numbers=none}
    \begin{lstlisting}
    abc.play;
    \end{lstlisting}
    
  2. Source code blocks aren't processing #+ATTR_LATEX, whether it comes before the name and caption or immediately before #+BEGIN_SRC.

  3. If I try to force a float using #+BEGIN_FIGURE, I can't find a way to attach a placement string. #+ATTR_LATEX appears to be ignored.

Tried with org-mode v8.3.5.

    I got #3 working: #+ATTR_LATEX: :options [th]. #1 and #2, still no idea. Aug 3, 2016 at 20:28
  • For me, using org-mode 8.3.4, #+ATTR_LATEX: :placement [th] works for #3, although I put this just above the #RESULT header created when running the source block (using C-c C-c) and I didn't add any manual #+BEGIN_FIGURE.

I use the following attribute in org file and it works with org-mode v8.2.10.

There are many bugs or incompatible updates in org-mode v8.3.5, so I suggest you to try it with v8.2.10.

#+CAPTION: example
#+LABEL: fig:example-fig
#+ATTR_LATEX: :placement [H]

    That is for an image link. My question is about source code blocks. Also, I had originally been using 8.2-something when I saw the problem. I updated, thinking maybe it had been fixed, but the behavior didn't change. Aug 5, 2016 at 16:30
