Hello,

first thanks Tassilo for your reply, it did help somehow but there is still
things I don't understand, see below.

That works, thanks, but when do you use "#+LATEX_HEADER:" then?  I thought
that if I wanted a package just for this one org file that it was the way
to specify it, sure doesn't work for me?

I also looked at the manual to selectively export a part of the org file.
They talk about the "org-export-select-tags" and "org-export-exclude-tags";
these variables don't even exist?  They never explain how to create them
and how to set them?  They never explain neither how and where to set the
tags once the variables are set?

Any light here?  Thanks again,

Gérald
