Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes.

OK.

Don't the element `latex-environment' always start \begin{.}?
Cf. org-element--latex-begin-environment.

Another danger is that someone writes something like,

    \begin{center}
    \begin{table}
    ...

I wouldn’t worry too much about this, though.

Longtable in an omission, but would have been matched.  For some reason I
thought tabu was no longer supported.  Browsing the tabu CTAN page there’s
links to all sorts of exotic table packages, like "stabular",
"bigtabular", and "supertabular".  I wonder if it’s enough to match the
ones supported by Org by default, or whether it would be better to have it
as a defvar that could be hacked if necessary?

Good point.  Thanks.

I have attached the patch with the changes again and added a changelog
entry.  I am not sure this needs to be documented, but I’m happy to
include a couple lines somewhere.

Thanks,
Rasmus
