#### 13.10.10 Special blocks in LaTeX export

For other special blocks in the Org file, the LaTeX export back-end makes a special environment of the same name. The back-end 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
