Suvayu has replied in the meantime with a pointer to a better solution than this one, but this might be of some minor interest to some people as well - besides, I spent a whole 20 minutes on it, half of it trying to figure out why my mail was not working :-( : why let that effort go to waste?:-) ] Marius Hofert wrote: > Dear Suvayu, > > thanks. > It would be good to know how latex export can be customized to achieve this. > Depends on how much customization you are willing to go through: there is an enumerate.sty package in LaTeX that can do that: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ... \usepackage{enumerate} ... \begin{enumerate}[(1)] \item foo \item bar \end{enumerate} ... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Inserting the \usepackage from the org file is no problem: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumerate} ... --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Getting the argument to the enumerate environment in the right place is another matter. I think the only way is to redefine org-list-generic-to-latex like this (add this to your initialization file, .emacs or whatever, after you load org): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (require 'org-list) (defun org-list-to-latex (list &optional params) "Convert LIST into a LaTeX list. LIST is as returned by `org-list-parse-list'. PARAMS is a property list with overruling parameters for `org-list-to-generic'." (org-list-to-generic list (org-combine-plists '(:splice nil :ostart "\\begin{enumerate}[(1)]\n" :oend "\\end{enumerate}" :ustart "\\begin{itemize}\n" :uend "\\end{itemize}" :dstart "\\begin{description}\n" :dend "\\end{description}" :dtstart "[" :dtend "] " :istart "\\item " :iend "\n" :icount (let ((enum (nth depth '("i" "ii" "iii" "iv")))) (if enum ;; LaTeX increments counter just before ;; using it, so set it to the desired ;; value, minus one. (format "\\setcounter{enum%s}{%s}\n\\item " enum (1- counter)) "\\item ")) :csep "\n" :cbon "\\texttt{[X]}" :cboff "\\texttt{[ ]}" :cbtrans "$\\boxminus$") params))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The only change is the definition of :ostart. Not a very flexible method, but it will serve in a pinch. ngz et al. might have better ideas. I should say that there are other ways to customize enumeration labels in LaTeX - see e.g. http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=enumerate - but afaict they would all require some rewiring of the above function, similar to the above.
