I don't like *one* filter to rule them all. Of course, if it's a collection of other function calls that is OK. As your recent question showed execution order may matter, (e.g. with :ignoreheading:clearpage:). Of course it's possible to bundle a couple of filters generally useful for ox-latex and provide a "consistent" interface. Alternatively, one could make a ox-latex+.el that provides a derived class with extra options. That's may be more work, and may be harder to hack. In fact Aaron started ox-extra.el, with the intention of providing "semi-official" extensions but Worg may be a better means of communication. > Right now Iʻm using tags to ignoreheading, clearpage, and newpage. > In addition to your nonum filter, Eric S. has a filter that gets rid > of a heading and promotes the content, which I havenʻt had occasion > to use, but also has its own tag. Yes, Eric has cool tree-based filter(s). I want to study them more carefully. Quite possibly, it's easier to provide elegant filters with trees. For instance, you have direct access to the element representation. In my filters I "hack" my way to this using text-properties. > From the LaTeX authorʻs point of view, it would be great to have a set > of tags (and options) that "just work." Would you want this as a derived class or filters? Perhaps it's easier to have a derived class with an alternative headline function. . . > Do you (and others) think the "tag and filter" approach can achieve > this? Or, are there too many moving parts to make it feasible? Yes. The ox-koma-script interface is basically controlled via tags. I think it's nice. —Rasmus -- If you can mix business and politics wonderful things can happen!
