[O] Create a longtable in LaTeX from orgtbl

[Tak Kunihiro]

Dear all,

Can you show how to create a longtable in LaTeX from orgtbl?

When a table in short, I create a LaTeX table in following way, as
demonstrated in manual.

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/A-LaTeX-example.html

#+BEGIN_SRC LaTeX
\begin{table}[htdp]
  \begin{center}
    \caption{My great results}
    % BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL tbl:my-short-table
    % END RECEIVE ORGTBL tbl:my-short-table
    \iffalse
    #+ORGTBL: SEND tbl:my-short-table orgtbl-to-latex :no-escape t
    |------------+---------+--------|
    |       date | session | remark |
    |------------+---------+--------|
    | 2014-06-18 | s140618 |        |
    |------------+---------+--------|
    \fi
    \label{tbl:my-short-table}
  \end{center}
\end{table}
#+END_SRC


For longtable, I do in following way.  It barely works, but I have to
copy and paste header every time orgtbl is tossed to RECEIVE.

Can you show how to create a longtable in LaTeX from orgtbl?  Thank
you in advance.

Tak
