Thanks for this useful overview and the pointers to good examples.
Iʻve been slowly building a set of filters and links that work for me,
but each new project differs a bit from the previous one and I have to
fiddle with the Org mode setup. Iʻm eager to get to the place Iʻm at
with LaTeX, where I just jump in and start writing.
Thanks again for your help.
All the best,
Tom
