I normally prefer to export to pdf but I see that there are
some differences.
I added
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil \n:nil todo:nil
and
toc is not exported in both, todo are anyway always exported
and newline are kept only in html.
In the latex version they're not exported for some reasons...
Should I set some nice secret variable?

That is correct, we have not implemented keeping all line breaks in
LaTeX.
Too hard, unfortunately.

I've searched around a bit, and to my big surprise, I cannot find a
LaTeX package preserving line breaks. I understand such a function
doesn't come along nicely with the general LaTeX philosophy, but it
should be possible after all...
Did anyone already tried to find such a package ?

Aloha Bastien,
Plain LaTeX has \linebreak and \nolinebreak, that might be appropriate.

Not a package, but there is \obeylines (plain TeX) that will
preserve line breaks - e.g. Knuth[1] suggests that it be used for
typesetting poetry:
{\obeylines\smallskip
Roses are red,
\quad Violets are blue;
Rhymes can be typeset
\quad with boxes and glue.
\smallskip}
It apparently works by pretending that the newline is a \par token.

OK, this is pretty good, and I have added it to be inserted
as a consequence of setting org-export-preserve-breaks. But I
believe in complex documents there might be problems, so I would
be interested in test results. Only then we will decide if this
should stay in.

Very nice, is it in the last version of org-mode?
Because without a working export to pdf it's very problematic to use org-mode
for writing for example scientific documents (or the thesis).

It is in the git repo, but not yet in a release.
It may be in 6.33, but only if no problems arise from this change - I am
not at all sure about this.

It's not also so easy to test I guess...
Maybe giving some very complicated org-files, see automatically
if the pdf is generated and check some of them if they really are
as they are.
How would you test otherwise?

Yes, take a big complicated Org file, maybe something in WOrg, and
export
it with this option. Then check if everything looks good. In
particular tables, list,
verbatim examples, etc

After a while I write again here, I've tried to export to pdf with \n:t
quite a few times, and I've only found one problem
I don't know how I can show you but in short lists inside a block get a
wrong indentation.
Instead of being more indented they are less indented and go toward the
left border.
It's definitely a problem of \obeylines because with \n:nil it works
fine.
I've pasted here some latex code, try to generate a pdf and see section
2.a to see what I mean.
http://gist.github.com/248980
In the meanwhile it would be maybe good to give a message to the user
who wants to convert to pdf using \n:t, "check carefully the result" for
example.
Thanks

Mm I don't understand...
How should I disable "todo" exporting then?
How I wrote it doesn't work, but from the manual it should be correct...

I see..
But would not be enough to do a simple replace
\n -> \newline from the org file to the latex source file?

No - it's much more complicated than that, partly because bare newlines
in LaTeX are completely ignored (except that two newlines in a row
signal end of paragraph - assuming of course that you are in paragraph
mode...), partly because the constructs that try to emulate newline
behavior (\\, \linebreak, \newline) are very context-dependent.
For a flavor of some of the complications, see this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/17333
particularly Bastien's summary of a reply that Sebastien Vauban
got in the fr.comp.text.tex newsgroup. Even that, complicated
as it is, is not complete.
