For other special blocks in the Org file, the LaTeX export backend makes a special environment of the same name. The backend also takes ‘:options’, if any, and appends as-is to that environment’s opening string. For example:
#+BEGIN_abstract We demonstrate how to solve the Syracuse problem. #+END_abstract #+ATTR_LATEX: :options [Proof of important theorem] #+BEGIN_proof ... Therefore, any even number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. #+END_proof
exports to
\begin{abstract}
We demonstrate how to solve the Syracuse problem.
\end{abstract}
\begin{proof}[Proof of important theorem]
...
Therefore, any even number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes.
\end{proof}
If you need to insert a specific caption command, use ‘:caption’ attribute. It overrides standard ‘CAPTION’ value, if any. For example:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :caption \MyCaption{HeadingA}
#+BEGIN_proof
...
#+END_proof
