Aloha Nicolas, The attached patch adds a new defcustom for the toc and listof commands that are inserted after \maketitle with the new latex exporter. In the old exporter, the undesirable \vspace*{1cm} could be replaced with a user-defined function. The new exporter hard codes this. The patch puts this in a variable that uses the current string as a default. With the patch, the user can now do something like this: (setq org-e-latex-toc-and-lists-string "\\tableofcontents\n\\listoffigures\n\n") which I find an improvement. Thanks for your work on the exporters. All the best, Tom
