Subject: Re: Controlling pagination on headings in Latex/PDF export?

Hi!
I am familiar with \newpage (and I especially like to put it at the front of the document to keep my content out of my table of contents!), but I was hoping to be able to do this in some more automatic fashion, since these are long reports and I want to be able to process them unattended.
Is it possible to do something like this:
* Period...
** Asset
#+latex: \keepthisstufftogether{begin}
*** DEPARTMENT A
| Table | Data | Here. |
| Table | Data | Here. |
| Table | Data | Here. |
#+latex: \keepthisstufftogether{end}
*** DEPARTMENT B
...
I have no idea what /actual/ LaTeX call fills in for "\keepthisstufftogether" though...
Thanks!
