Hi,

References of interest:
1. https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook
2. https://github.com/asilata/emacsconf2021

Can anyone guide me how to get a self-contained and portable template that
executes kaobook tex templates (see 1) to create an org-file that resembles
with the instance in 2 above?

I tried the best I can by adding the kaobook.cls and kaobook.sty files
inside `~/texmf/tex/latex/kaobook/` folder and specified 'kaobook' in the
`#+latex_class: kaobook` but it failed to produce the desired look of pdf
similar to
https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook/blob/master/example_and_documentation.pdf
withing the same examples directory!

Any input appreciated!

Cheers and have a nice week,
/z

  Hi,
  
  For starters, have you added the kaobook document class to the variable
  org-latex-classes? (If yes, ignore the rest of this message, if not, do
  so and see what happens.)
  
  This is needed to tell Org how to set the document class and what commands
  are used for sections. See the manual 13.10.2 and 13.10.3,
  [[info:org#LaTeX specific export settings]] and [[info:org#LaTeX header
  and sectioning]], and look up the docstring for org-latex-classes if you
  need help.
  
  E.g., in .emacs I have this for Tufte-Latex:
  
  (add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
  	     '("tufte-handout" "\\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{tufte-handout}"
  	       ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
  	       ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")))
  
  (add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
  	     '("tufte-book" "\\documentclass[11pt,a5paper,nols]{tufte-book}"
  	       ("\\part{%s}" . "\\part*{%s}")
  	       ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
  	       ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
  	       ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")))
  
  Yours,
  Christian

    Thanks Christian for the pointer,
    
    But I already have,

    Hi again,
    
    I updated the texlive to 2023 and can produce a pdf with the following
    snippets inside the https://github.com/asilata/emacsconf2021/ggm.org:
    
    ** Org LaTeX setup

    However, the pdf did not inherit all the kaobook template features like:
    
       1. Mini table of contents in the margin at the start of each chapter.
       2. Chapter headings.
       3. Huge chapter number with a vertical line
    
    Any input will be appreciated to render the file that looks like
    https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook/blob/master/example_and_documentation.pdf
    or https://github.com/tudelft3d/terrainbook/releases/latest.

      The pdf rendered after appending the org-latex-class looked like the
      attachment which appears the three features of kaobook skipping, fyi.
      Thanks!

      The kaobook.cls defines non-standard LaTeX commands for some of 
      its features.  Org mode doesn't know about these, so you'll have 
      to figure out how Org mode can recognize and export them.
      
      All the best,

        Aloha Tom,
        
        Thank you for taking time to respond with an useful pointer. I feel like I
        reached the right person who is  an expert in both LaTeX and Orgmode who
        has contributed to org-tufte book earlier as seen in your github repo. I am
        a novice, fyi.
        
        I appreciate if you take some time to point out the non-standard features
        in order to make Orgmode can recognize.

          I haven't used kaobook, so I can't offer specific pointers.  I 
          have used Tufte LaTeX with Org mode, so I can give general 
          pointers.
          
          A LaTeX class, such as kaobook, typically redefines standard LaTeX 
          commands and environments, and also defines non-standard commands 
          and environments.  So, you should first check if your system 
          correctly compiles a pdf from the LaTeX examples supplied with 
          kaobook.  When the LaTeX side is working correctly, then you'll 
          want to identify non-standard commands and environments defined by 
          the kaobook class.  In the style and class files you might search 
          for \newcommand and \newenvironment, or the documentation might 
          identify the user facing non-standard commands and environments. 
          These are the ones you'll need to configure specially.
          
          I typically use Org mode macros to insert non-standard LaTeX 
          commands.  Here are some I use with non-standard commands from 
          Tufte LaTex:
          
          #+MACRO: newthought \newthought{$1}
          #+MACRO: sidenote \sidenote[$2][$3]{$1}
          #+MACRO: marginnote \marginnote[$2]{$1}
          #+MACRO: urlnote \sidenote[$2][$3]{​\url{$1}​}
          
          Non-standard environments are a bit trickier.
          
          First, you might be able to wrap the non-standard environment like 
          this in your Org mode file:
          
          #+begin_<<kaobook-environment>>
          Something that should be wrapped in <<kaobook-environment>>.
          #+end_<<kaobook-environment>>
          
          For figures and tables, you can pass an arbitrary argument to 
          :float.  I do this for the Tufte LaTeX marginfigure environment:
          
          #+attr_latex: :float marginfigure :height 1.2in
          
          #+attr_latex: :float marginfigure :options angle=90
          
          #+attr_latex: :placement [ht!] \setfloatalignment{b}
          
          The last example abuses attr_latex to pass a non-standard LaTeX 
          command that Tufte LaTeX uses to tweak the vertical alignment of 
          the figure.  
          
          Good luck!
          
          hth,
          Tom
