This is a follow upon my earlier posts in the following threads:
[1] 'Composing letters using org-mode and scrlttr2'
[2] Composingletters using Org mode and the LaTeX isodoc clas'
I am attaching four files
- org-latex-generic.el
- org-letter-utils.el
- org-scrlttr2.el
- org-isodoc.el
Functionality is easily explained by usage rather than by words.
Usage Notes:
1. Load libraries
- (require 'isodoc)
- (require 'scrlttr2)
2. C-x C-f 'sample-letter.scrlttr2' and/or 'sample-isodoc.isodoc'. File
extensions are important and they are indicative of the LaTeX classes
targetted for export.
3. You will be offered a Org outline structure. Fill in the same. In the
'To' address field you have an option just to insert a bbdb link as
opposed to the whole address.
Remember to fill in the LCO file for scrlttr2 and style file for
isodoc.
4. Do a C-c C-e l or C-c C-e d.
5. See that your letter is nicely exported.
6. YMMV.
Additional Notes:
Files have helpful docstring. Core functionality is in
org-latex-generic-sectioning. Rest all are bells and whistles.

Watch Out For:
1. Have no empty lines in .scrlttr2/.isodoc file. If that doesn't help
remove it from the generated tex file.
I have a strong reason to believe org-latex.el is generating
extraneous newlines in (org-export-latex-subcontent ...) at line 1029
or thereabouts.
2. Have no commas in the bbdb address field. C-h f
org-letter-utils-bbdb-export is probably not upto the task.
3. Remove \date directive in the isodoc tex file.
4. Also see FIXME notes in the org-latex-generic.el
Implementation Notes:
The key idea is to mirror the LaTeX commands in terms of Org
headlines. Start with C-h f org-latex-generic-sectioning for further
exploring. Try mapping the headline structure of .scrlttr2/.isodoc file
with the corresponding tex file and compare it against the settings of
of different variables in the org-scrlttr2.el/org-isodoc.el

[...]
I'm trying to use your lisp to generate isodoc letters. I'm wondering
what tex processing commands you are using?
I don't have bbdb in place, so I changed that. Otherwise, using your
code, I get a similar TeX result (attached) but a PDF result that
doesn't make much sense. (attached).
Toying around with isodoc natively, I found that I could get things to
look somewhat better by translating the '[key=val]' region inside the
\begin{document} into a \setupdocument{} command _before_ the
\begin{document}. From your earlier examples, it's clear that you were
getting it to work without that measure.
I saw that there were several notions of "How to turn an Org document
into tasty letter-flavored TeX-like source".... Has anyone else reached
a functional plateau they like?

I'm closing in on the discrepancy. The exported TeX which Jambunathan
sent was 'similar' to what I'm getting, but there were a few important
differences.
Most importantly, I'm getting an additional newline between key and
value:
---
opening =
My dear john
,
---
instead of
---
opening =
My dear john
,
---
This appears to fotch up the LaTex, and put those strings in a spot out
of the document entirely.
If I remove line 1137
(insert "\n")
from org-latex.el, this change in spacing goes away, but of course I
have no idea why it was put there. Oddly, git-blame suggests that line
went in in 2009, well before Jambunathan posted his isodoc files.
Does anyone who's been tinkering with the latex export code want to
expound on why that newline's in there? Is it silly to just suggest
"Can we take it out?"
