I don't understand the logic in this. In terms of final layout, do you want to have subheading appear as a "box"? Like in some (introductory) textbooks? If so, you could program a certain ** to be export as a certain type of object. You might even be able to use tags to determine how output should be formatted, like in Org-latex-beamer mode. This might require some hacking. I do however, strongly support the idea of terminating headings, but for other reasons. My problem is ending * COMMENT headings. This sketch the issue (in terms of LaTeX export): #+begin_src emacs-org * COMMENT This is were I put all my export settings, various notes and such it could be placed as the very last headline, but that is somewhat annoying an illogical to me. ** Export #+TITLE: Test #+AUTHOR: me [A bunch of paper-specific #+latex_header:] ** An outline of the task at hand [...] And HERE I want to put text before the first subsection. That is beneath Title but before first section. #+end_src In terms of LaTeX I need something like: #+begin_src latex \begin{document} \maketitle This is where I want some initial text \section{first section} #+end_src Of course, I could start explicitly with a \section{intro} (i.e. * Intro) right after \maketitle/\begin{document}, but for short papers I find this is redundant. Is my style the problem or should there be a way to terminate section, maybe with an artificial new heading (similar to the :B_ignoreheading: tag)? Cheers, Rasmus
