Hi, Ihor, thanks for your comments.

Precisely I have in mind to publish in my blog on typography
(https://lunotipia.juanmanuelmacias.com/) an extended and more detailed
version of this text, also including the function to which I refer (and
that I have not included in the post to the list for not making the text
any longer). The drawback is that my blog is in Spanish. I can easily
make an English version of the blog post as well. Who should I send the
link to, when I post it?

I really don't have an opinion at the moment... As a user I try to put
as few direct LaTeX commands as possible: commands like \newpage,
\pagebreak, \clearpage, \bigskip, \quad, etc. Whenever I can, I
prefer to control spaces and page breaks using more general macros. And,
when I put these commands, the fact of resorting to an export snippet
does not usually bother me, since they are not very verbose commands.
But I don't know what other users will think...

Yes, I use direct LaTeX in that case because I need to put the command
\caption*, the starred version of \caption provided by the caption
package. And before \caption*, I wanted to also add a \captionsetup. For
those cases, I think the :caption attribute already does a good job.
What would be interesting (IMO) is to be able to introduce arbitrary code
within the figure environment through an attribute, but this is where
the possible :export_template attribute could come into play, as we
discussed in the other thread.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel
