This might not be an option you want to follow, or something you have already thought about, but you could achieve your result using LaTeX source code blocks and then tangle, rather than export, your contribution. This has the advantage that it is relatively simple to tangle different chunks, in case you are contributing to different parts of the paper. #+source: chunk1 #+begin_src latex :tangle chunk1.tex This is chunk 1. #+end_src #+source: chunk2 #+begin_src latex :tangle chunk2.tex This is chunk 2. #+end_src Hope this helps. All the best, Tom
