Most of the LaTeX code you would insert in Org files will be exported ok. This LaTeX could be LaTeX fragments, or more complex commands. Check `org-latex-entities' for a list of recognized commands. If you want to insert several lines of LaTeX code, put them between these markers: #+BEGIN_LaTeX ... #+END_LaTeX If you want to insert a specific LaTeX header, just define the variable `org-export-latex-header' locally in your Org file. See the Org manual at (info "(org)CSS support") for an example on setting a local variable in Org, and replace `org-export-html-style' by `org-export-latex-header' in this example. If you want to use your own customized LaTeX class then define it in `org-export-latex-classes' and add #+LaTeX_CLASS: myclass as a local option in your Org file. Combining all these should provide a nearly complete environment to write in Org and have a good LaTeX output. It won't catch all the complexity and flexibility of LaTeX (or TeX) but I guess it will be enough as a start ! Actually, we really *lack* a tutorial on the LaTeX export. -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
