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
> #+latex_class: kaobook
> #+latex_class_options: [openany, a5paper]
> #+latex_header:
> \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsthm,geometry,hyperref,paralist,svg,thmtools,tikz,tikz-cd}
> #+latex_header: \usepackage{mathtools}
> #+latex_header: \usepackage[capitalise,noabbrev]{cleveref}
> #+latex_header: \usepackage{environ} \NewEnviron{abmn}{\marginnote{\BODY}}
> #+latex_header: \setcounter{tocdepth}{1}

>                      "\\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}")
>                    "\n")
>                  ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
>                  ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
>                  ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
>                  ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
>                  ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))

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.

Thank you in advance,
/z
