David,
I could have sworn I was looking at the relevant variable this
morning, but I can't find it. (I was looking at
org-export-latex-todo-keyword-markup, but that's of course for TODO
words). It looks to me like tag markup is hard-coded for LaTeX
export, as a simple substitution in the function
'org-export-latex-keywords-maybe.
I, too, would be glad to do some tricks on tags for LaTeX output.
Would it add to the complexity too much to expand the capabilities of
org-export-latex-classes, so that in the lines where you define the
header markup for each class, you can also define tag markup?
So in the following, %s is just the text of the header and %t is a
(comma-separated, for possible use as LaTeX arguements?) tag list:
'(("mynewclass"
"\\documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{article}"
("\\section{%s}\n\taglist{%t}" . "\\section*{%s}\n\taglist{%t}")
("\\subsection{%s}\n\taglist{%t}" . "\\subsection*{%s}\n\taglist{%t}")
... and so on.
The above example would produce LaTeX code like this:
\section{This is a Title Here}
\taglist{tag1,tag2,tag3}
Section text goes here.
I would then define \taglist{} in my header as a custom latex command
which does the formatting I want on the tags.
Presumably I could also add whatever formatting I want around %t ---at
least whatever formatting LaTeX supports. David, you might want to
assure yourself that LaTeX is capable of producing the results you
want. I'm weak on the specifics, but there is some trouble putting
certain kinds of commands in LaTeX header lines.
It may be that in time, org-export-generic will grow into a tool that
can be made to produce a decent LaTeX exporter, (and might now for
certain well-structured and not-too-demanding kinds of documents), but
I suspect that time quite yet.
I'd be glad to hear of any other solutions or hacks.
Scot
