I would love to see the org file! How did emacs perform = which such huge file? >=20 Emacs had no trouble whatsoever. The main file is 9313 lines.=20 I turned off evaluation of code blocks at export time. Many of the code = blocks download data from FAO and other websites before using them. = Evaluating all of them at export time would have meant too much lag in = producing the pdf. So all code blocks had to be manually evaluated (C-c = C-c), if I changed anything. I did not manage to learn and use export filters. There were a couple of = things that I needed to fix at the time of export. Since I could not = handle those in org, I wrote a bash script that would use sed to clear = up those things, and then create a pdf. But that was it. Although I do not know git very well, I can manage basic operations. I = had a git repo to deal with versions. In the end, there were two = versions: one that laid out the page on a larger stock paper with trim = marks for the printer, and another that generated the online version for = the FAO document repository. Let me put the files in a github repo and share the link. Vikas
