I have a couple of big files that I'd like to move from LaTeX to Org, and 
wondered if there's already an easier way to manage this than to do a 
bunch of tedious searching and replacing on \section and \begin{quote} and 
the like.

I found this thread in the list archives, from about three years ago, 
where Marvin Doyley had the same question:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/34020

Matt Lundin said he'd hacked up something in Perl and he'd put it in Worg, 
but I can't find it in there ... Matt, did you ever post it?

Thanks,

Bill

  Hi William,
  
  Take a look at pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/). It reads and
  writes several markup formats, including LaTeX and org.
  
  Hope this helps,
  
   -Anthony

    Thanks!  I completely forgot about pandoc.
    
    $ pandoc --no-wrap foo.latex -o foo.org
    
    did the job beautifully (once I'd converted all my compactitem lists to 
    itemize).
