Funny. Glad it looks like it may work. > I couldn't get easylist to understand the > \star symbol that orgmode uses. Do you know how to do that? No. You might have seen the footnote in the easylist documentation (on p. 2) which says: "You might not be happy with the symbols and maybe you'd like to use another one, or simply have your favorite symbol as default to avoid remembering such a cumbersome name as 'pilcrow'. Here's a simple hack that does the job: select the entire code of the package, and replace all occurrences of =C5=B8 (<<-- the pilcrow) with your symbol. Make sure you won't use it in the list for other purposes, though." I've not tried this, however. It would be nice if there were a dead easy way to get easylist and org-mode to work well together, since the two are very natural partners. Let me know if you can make this work. > And also to skip > the first 3 stars in a level4 heading (if I want to retain latex's defaul= t > top 3 levels)? I've never actually gone all the way to making a document easy-to-publish with Easylist. I've just manually converted org-mode's stars to a character Easylist can understand, then manually wrapped the whole thing in a LaTeX preamble. The ideal would be to automate the process, perhaps by using org-babel and putting your easylist sections in special code blocks. But I've not taken the time to figure all that out. Failing that, I bet you could do a halfway hack with minimal amount of manual work. For example (if I understand you correctly), you could make an org document like this: * Regular org heading ** Subheading ** Here's a third-level heading STARTLIST **** My first thesis, which is longer and wordier than it probably should b= e. ***** Of course it's nothing compared to the length of its supporting argum= ents ***** Both of them **** Here is my second thesis, as convincing as the first ENDLIST Org-mode will let you do all of that, just fine. Then either manually, or with a temporary latex export hook, do something like this: replace STARTLIST with \begin{easylist} and ENDLIST with \end{easylist} replace '**** ' with '& ' and '***** ' with '&& ' and ****** ' with '&&& ',= etc. If you do it in an export hook, I think you'd want to do it in one that runs before everything else. That way org-mode will leave everthing in your easylist environment alone. What that will do to quotation marks and /emphasis/ I don't know. This should leave you with an easylist which starts at level '1', in a document which uses org's header levels 1-3 in the normal latex way. Is that what you want? Make sure in the preamble, you have \usepackage[ampersand]{easylist} Let me know if you need help figuring any of this out in detail. That's just a rough sketch. Cheers, Scot
