* PDF export, table of contents and internal links @ 2022-06-29 19:18 Sébastien Gendre 2022-06-29 19:56 ` Juan Manuel Macías 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Sébastien Gendre @ 2022-06-29 19:18 UTC (permalink / raw) To: orgmode Hello, Recently I wrote a little document in Org-mode and I exported it to LaTeX then PDF. But I got a problem: In the PDF, there was no table of contents and the internal links were absent. In the PDF I had a "Table of contents" title, but only the title. Below it, I got nothing. On Org-mode side, the table of contents is not disable. And in the .tex file, I got a "\tableofcontents" below the "\maketitle". To generate the table of contents, I have to compile my .tex file into PDF 2 times. The first time, I got no toc. The second time the toc was here. Same situation with internal links. Did I got this problem because the generated PDF was 76 pages ? How can I fix it so I can have toc generated from Org-mode export ? Best regards. ------- Sébastien ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Sometimes LaTeX needs more than one compilation to finish processing things like TOC or cross-references, because it writes to auxiliary files if there has been any change in those elements. What I suggest is that you use latexmk as the default 'org-latex-pdf-process'. latexmk is a script that takes care of intelligently compiling everything, as many times as necessary. I have in my init: (setq org-latex-pdf-process '("latexmk -lualatex -output-directory=%o -e '$lualatex=q/lualatex %%O -shell-escape %%S/' %f")) (I use LuaTeX instead of pdfTeX).

You remember me that, in the past, I had modified "org-latex-pdf-process". I just forget about it. By looking this variable with "describe-variable", I see its default value is: "latexmk -f -pdf -%latex -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=%o %f" I modified it to be: "%latex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" Because, when I wanted to add "-shell-escape" option to latexmk, it seemed too complex to me. If I learned LaTeX syntax in the past, I never take enough time to learn how work each compilation possibility. I feel lost with all the pdflatex, teklive, lualatex, double or quadruple compilation, etc. Do you have good articles or book to suggest about this part of LaTeX ? To come back to "org-latex-pdf-process", I only added "-shell-escape" for the minted package. To have beautify code block. But maybe it exist better solution ? Someone have experience with Engrave Faces ?

If, in addition, you need to use citations, add an analytical index or other elements to your work, you will also have to call the corresponding engines (bibtex, biber, xindy, etc.) and compile again. And to all this is added that there are specific packages that also need more than one compilation. So it's often the best idea to let latexmk take care of all that instead of compiling manually. You may be interested in taking a look at another TeX format, ConTeXt, not as popular as LaTeX but very powerful. It has certain advantages over LaTeX. For my workflow, I prefer LaTeX. But there are users who can be better served by ConTeXt, and they should be aware of it. Unlike LaTeX, whose concept is of a minimal kernel that can be extended by packages, ConTeXt starts from a monolithic kernel, which includes everything or almost everything. In other words, it is not necessary to load a package for this, another package for that, etc. Its interface is more minimalist than the LaTeX interface and its compilation process is (I think) faster. And, on the Org side, we luckily already have a ConTeXt exporter, ox-context, written by Jason Ross: https://github.com/Jason-S-Ross/ox-context/ There is a very complete introductory manual to ConTeXt written by Joaquín Ataz López, with translations into various languages, including English and French: https://github.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-to-context > Do you have good articles or book to suggest about this part of LaTeX ? A good read might be: /The Not so Short Introduction to LaTeX2e/ (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=the not so short introduction to latex2e) And if you dare to program at a low level in pure TeX, this is very good: /TeX for the Impatient/ (http://mail.tug.org/TUGboat/tb11-4/tb30ads.pdf) > To come back to "org-latex-pdf-process", I only added "-shell-escape" > for the minted package.

The -shell-escape flag only makes sense if you need to call an external process during compilation (as in the case of minted). It is also necessary if you need to use an indexing engine like xindy. But apart from these cases and some more, an org user will have more advantages using babel. I use Minted, but I'm not convinced. It also has some problems with certain LaTeX packages. I have Engrave Faces on my TODO list to try. And possibly I will migrate to it... Best regards, Juan Manuel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
