IIUC, you want to modify the LaTeX exporter. Hence, you want a /derived backend/. See docstring for org-export-define-derived-backend, for starters. (If not, see the docstring for org-export-define-backend.) Then you /might/ want to see the notes for my EmacsConf2015 talk on making Org-mode exporters (from scratch, not derived ones, but most of that stuff is really applicable to both) -- see https://github.com/mbork/ox-oddmuse -- and especially the references therein. Then, you /might/ want to skim the sources in ox-latex. (It's not extremely long: 2071 SLOC excluding blank lines, comments and docstrings. I read most of that, and it took me a bit more than 7 hours. Also, running some of those functions through Edebug may be instructive. And most probably you don't need to read all that code anyway.) And then, you may ask here. > Thank you. Hth, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
