This depends on the LaTeX class you use -- from memory, the class
"report" dedicates one page to the title page, and centers the ti= tle
vertically (or somewhat close.)

> 2. It is possible when i export a org file in pdf It is possible to > do a page brake after the table of content

OK but where in the org file to put the=20 pagebreake after the table of content. When I put the pagebreake in the=20 beginning of the org-file i have a blank page in the begening of my=20 document.
Just use \pagebreak in yo= ur Org file.

#+LaTeX: \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}

before the part you want to modify, and

#+LaTeX: \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}

to go back to a normal interline after this part.
Cool but it apply on title, not on regular paragraph text

No.
Yes, finaly i found a cool video about= this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D7w3cOypPhDI
=A0

> 5. It is possible when i export a org file in pdf It is possible to > set the font size

Yes - customize `org-export-latex-classes' to your needs, adding<= br> \documentclass[11pt]{article} where it makes sense.
<= div>It is posible to do that but only when i need it... like the interline.=

It's not currently possible, but we can imagine a helper function= for
that. =A0For now I would suggest: just store the empty table in a register:=
select the table, `C-x r s', then `C-x r i' when you want to insert= the
empty table again.

Finaly it is possible to make a table that i use a lot a form that i can fill and it is possible > with i don't know a short-cut or something to call this form when i need it. > 1., 2., 3. and 5. are really LaTeX questions. Both 1. and 2. can be obtained by using the appropriate LaTeX class, e.g. #+LaTeX_CLASS: report at the top of your document will give you a dedicated title page, vertically centered, and a dedicated TOC with a page break afterwards. But it will also give you Parts and Chapters, in addition to Sections, etc. which may not be what you want. You can certainly customize all of that in LaTeX, but I suspect that it's going to be a fair amount of work. You can change the font size of the text globally by adding something like: #+LaTeX: \huge at the top of your file. This will only take effect after the TOC however, and it will not affect the font size of headings, IIUC. You can also wrap a portion of the text like this: #+LaTeX: {\huge some text #+LaTeX: } to make font size changes locally. You can also change the interline spacing, (see e.g. p. 136 of the french version of "A not-so-short introduction to LaTeX" by Tobias Oetiker http://mirror.math.ku.edu/tex-archive/info/lshort/french/lshort-fr.pdf ) by changing \baselineskip appropriately. I don't understand 4. - it might be a good idea for you to provide an example of what you want. There are various ways to accomplish 6. : you can put the template in a file, define a function to insert the file and bind it to a key, you can define a macro or a function that inserts what you want, you can use any of the abbrev/template systems that emacs provides... Here is a bare-bones implementation of the first idea: you have a file /home/stevep/lib/org/templates/my-favorite-table.org with the table template in it. You define a function (put this stuff in your .emacs): (defun stevep-org-insert-my-favorite-table-template () (interactive) (insert-file "/home/stevep/lib/org/templates/my-favorite-table.org")) and you bind it to function-key F4 (probably not a good idea, but this is just an example): (define-key global-map [f4] 'stevep-org-insert-my-favorite-table-template) HTH, Nick From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Nick Dokos Subject: Re: Org-mode for school work Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:01:11 -0500 Message-ID: <14037.1324486871@alphaville.dokosmarshall.org> References: <87hb0ufg7y.fsf@gnu.org> <4EF1AE4E.7020504@christianmoe.com> Reply-To: nicholas.dokos@hp.com Return-path: Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([140.186.70.92]:52615) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1RdPXh-0001s9-4L for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:01:29 -0500 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1RdPXa-0005kr-EQ for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:01:24 -0500 Received: from g1t0029.austin.hp.com ([15.216.28.36]:16196) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1RdPXa-0005ka-37 for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:01:18 -0500 In-Reply-To: Message from "Steve Prud'Homme" of "Wed, 21 Dec 2011 08:54:42 EST."
