Hi,
I'm working on a customized latex-export-class for a CV.
I noticed that if you skip a level in the outline structure (cf. example below) it is not exported to latex. Is there a reason for this or could this be changed easily? If so I would appreciate it a lot!
Example:
* Section
** Subsection
*** Subsubsection
* Section
*** Subsubsection
* Section
exports to
\section{Section}
\subsection{Subsection}
\subsubsection{Subsubsection}
\section{Section}
\section{Section}
TIA
Sebastian

Anyway, I don't see a reason why the user should not be allowed to decide himself or herself to skip a level. Cheers, Sebastian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I would also appreciate if skipping a level in the structure could be possible. One reason to have this working is if you want to have a itemized outline at several levels.

I have nothing against skipping levels - the HTML exporter allows it. But, the LaTeX exporter does not. If someone can come up with a good patch, I'd consider putting it in. The patch may not be trivial though... - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Just for the sake of completeness, here is another (very) good reason to allow such a thing: for Beamer, with the sidebar outer theme, which allows you to see, on every slide, where you are in the TOC (up to 2 levels). If you have such a TOC: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 1. Intro 2. The meat 1. Why? 2. Why not? 3. Conclusion --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and have frames level beginning at 3, you would have in Org: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Intro *** Introduction This is first slide. * The meat ** Why? *** Why to do this? Second slide. ** Why not? *** Why not to do this? Third slide. * Conclusion *** Conclusion Last slide. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So, the solutions are: 1. To allow for skipped levels -> Sidebar is exactly as it should. 2. Not to export skipped levels -> You need to insert a level-2 for the Introduction and Conclusion a. Empty title (such as `** ') -> Empty space in the TOC displayed in the sidebar -> Bad! b. Repeat the title of level-1 -> Not nice... So, allowing for skipped levels seems the only nice way for me.
