For a long time I've wanted to write in org-mode and export it to latex, but I've never been successful until now. So here is a yasnippet that allows you to do it - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # -*- mode: snippet -*- # name: org2latex # key: org2latex # -- #+TITLE: foobar #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{palatino} #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{fixltx2e} #+latex_header: \usepackage[backend=biber,style=philosophy-modern,doi=true,hyperref=true,backref=true,backrefstyle=two,date=year,maxcitenames=3]{biblatex} #+LATEX_HEADER: \addbibresource{~/foo/foo/foo.bib} #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{makeidx} #+latex_header: \makeindex #+latex_header: \usepackage[acronym]{glossaries} #+latex_header: \makeglossaries #+latex_header: \usepackage[unhide]{todo} #+latex_header: \usepackage{everypage} #+latex_header: \usepackage{draftwatermark} #+latex_header: \usepackage{hyperref} #+latex_header: \hypersetup{colorlinks,linkcolor={red},citecolor={magenta},urlcolor={blue}} # #+options: num:nil #+OPTIONS: toc:2 \clearpage \renewcommand{\thesection}{} \renewcommand{\thesubsection}{} \renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{} \input{foo.glos} \input{foo.acro} /foo/ Your main text goes here /foo/ 'glos' is your glossary file, and 'acro' is your acronyms file, and 'bib' is your biblatex references. 'foo.glos' ;; needs to be a proper latex glossary file 'foo.acro' ;; needs to be a proper latex acronym file 'foo.bib' ;; needs to be a proper latex bib file, I'm using 'JabRef' for it. This file will accept a 'cite:foo' for biblatex references, and also '\gls{foo}' for glossary and acronym entries, and '\index{foo}' for index entries. You *must* give the complete path of your 'foo.bib' file as it sets up where every other file can be found. This works with a complete setup of 'TexLive 2015'. \todo{This is how your 'TODO' items should appear} \clearpage \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Glossary} \printglossaries \clearpage \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{References} \printbibliography \clearpage \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Index} \printindex \todos \end{document} --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- If you don't like something, then comment it out and do a rebuild to see if your modification works. To use - a - 'C-c C-e l l' to get a latex tex file b - Then use your favourite tex command to build it into a PDF file. I use my 'pdfbuild' file which I've uploaded to my blog "A taste of linux". The above template will give you a nice PDF file with a table of contents, every page with a watermark on saying 'DRAFT', the ability to put '\todo{comments}' in to show you what needs to be done at that point. And if you've set them up, a bibliography, glossary and acronyms and an index. As they say in Parliament "I commend it to the house." :) And I hope its useful for you?
