Hi,
I realy like the org-mode. I use it for my school work. I have a questions
about litle things like :
1. It is possible when i export a org file in pdf to make a title page
verticaly centered.
2. It is possible when i export a org file in pdf It is possible to do a
page brake after the table of content
3. It is possible when i export a org file in pdf It is possible give the
text a interline of 1.5 for certain part of the text.
4. When i make table i use table - create (ex: 7x3). It is possible to
merge cell like in word(example first row 1 colomn second row 4 column)
5. It is possible when i export a org file in pdf It is possible to set the
font size
6. Finaly it is possible to make a table that i use a lot a form that i can
fill and it is possible with i don't know a short-cut or something to call
this form when i need it.
Please excuse my english, i'm french

This depends on the LaTeX class you use -- from memory, the class
"report" dedicates one page to the title page, and centers the title
vertically (or somewhat close.)

Just use \pagebreak in your Org file.

#+LaTeX: \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}
before the part you want to modify, and
#+LaTeX: \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}
to go back to a normal interline after this part.

No.

Yes - customize `org-export-latex-classes' to your needs, adding
\documentclass[11pt]{article} where it makes sense.

It's not currently possible, but we can imagine a helper function for
that. For now I would suggest: just store the empty table in a register:
select the table, `C-x r s', then `C-x r i' when you want to insert the
empty table again.

Depending on what exactly you have in mind, Org Capture might be the
answer.
Yours,
Christian

Maybe \newpage works better?

1., 2., 3. and 5. are really LaTeX questions. Both 1. and 2. can be obtained by using
the appropriate LaTeX class, e.g.
#+LaTeX_CLASS: report
at the top of your document will give you a dedicated title page, vertically centered,
and a dedicated TOC with a page break afterwards. But it will also give you Parts and
Chapters, in addition to Sections, etc. which may not be what you want. You can
certainly customize all of that in LaTeX, but I suspect that it's going to be a fair
amount of work.
You can change the font size of the text globally by adding something like:
#+LaTeX: \huge
at the top of your file. This will only take effect after the TOC however, and it
will not affect the font size of headings, IIUC. You can also wrap a portion of the
text like this:
#+LaTeX: {\huge
some text
#+LaTeX: }
to make font size changes locally.
You can also change the interline spacing, (see e.g. p. 136 of the french version
of "A not-so-short introduction to LaTeX" by Tobias Oetiker
http://mirror.math.ku.edu/tex-archive/info/lshort/french/lshort-fr.pdf
) by changing \baselineskip appropriately.
I don't understand 4. - it might be a good idea for you to provide an example
of what you want.
There are various ways to accomplish 6. : you can put the template in a file,
define a function to insert the file and bind it to a key, you can define a macro
or a function that inserts what you want, you can use any of the abbrev/template
systems that emacs provides...
Here is a bare-bones implementation of the first idea: you have a file
/home/stevep/lib/org/templates/my-favorite-table.org
with the table template in it.
You define a function (put this stuff in your .emacs):
(defun stevep-org-insert-my-favorite-table-template ()
(interactive)
(insert-file "/home/stevep/lib/org/templates/my-favorite-table.org"))
and you bind it to function-key F4 (probably not a good idea, but this is just
an example):
(define-key global-map [f4] 'stevep-org-insert-my-favorite-table-template)
HTH,
Nick
