Org-mode tables exported as latex arrays within eqnarray environment, how?

Question

If I have constructed a blocked array using an org-mode table, I can easily export the table as, e.g., a pmatrix array as presented below. However, the pmatrix is exported within a math environment (\[..\]). How can I change that to, e.g., an eqnarray environment in order to attach an equation reference?

So, I have this code:

#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment pmatrix :mode math :math-prefix N= :math-suffix ,
| A   | B |
| B^T | D |

which is exported to

\[
N=\begin{pmatrix}
 A & B \\
 B^T & D \\
\end{pmatrix},
\]

I wish to replace the \[..\] by eqnarray, i.e., produce

\begin{eqnarray}
N=\begin{pmatrix}
 A & B \\
 B^T & D \\
\end{pmatrix},\label{eq:normal}
\end{eqnarray}

Is this possible using org-mode options or do I have to re-write the back-end? If so, where in the back-end should I start?

Answer 1

I have found a work-around in the following:

\refstepcounter{equation}
#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment pmatrix :mode math :math-prefix N= :math-suffix ,\tag{\theequation}\label{eq:blocks}
| A   | B |
| B^T | D |

It is however a kludge and gives a different vertical spacing as around an eqnarray. Another version that moves all reference stuff into the #+ATTR_LATEX block is

#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment pmatrix :mode math :math-prefix \refstepcounter{equation}N= :math-suffix ,\tag{\theequation}\label{eq:blocks}
| A   | B |
| B^T | D |

However, it does not solve the original problem.
