Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the comments.

With the last patch it gets weird when you have mixed trees, like this:

    * numbered
    ** unnumbered 
    :PROPERTIES:
    :UNNUMBERED: t
    :END:

The LaTeX output is:

    \section{numbered}
    \label{sec-1}
    \subsection*{unnumbered}
    \label{unnumbered-sec-0-1}

Perhaps it would be nicer to use a single counter rather than two?
Right now, this

    * numbered1
    * unnumbered2 
    :PROPERTIES:
    :UNNUMBERED: t
    :END:
    * numbered2
    * unnumbered2
    :PROPERTIES:
    :UNNUMBERED: t
    :END:

produces

    \section{numbered1}
    \label{sec-1}
    \section*{unnumbered2}
    \label{unnumbered-sec-1}
    \section{numbered2}
    \label{sec-2}
    \section*{unnumbered2}
    \label{unnumbered-sec-2}

But perhaps this is nicer?

    \label{sec-1}
    \label{unnumbered-sec-2}
    \label{sec-3}
    \label{unnumbered-sec-4}

In particular for mixed, nested trees.

Is *my statement* incorrect or is the current *output* incorrect?

On my PC, when I refer to an unnumbered headline I get
\ref{UNNUMBERED}, but since it's after a \section* it will produce
nothing or a subsequent element.  But I *did* forget to try the patch
with emacs -q and maybe that's why I'm not seeing \hyperref's. . .

To be clear: you are happy if it uses the \hyperref[·]{·} in LaTeX,
but not \ref{·} for unnumbered?

OK.

Thanks,
