LaTeX book export: Chapters?

LaTeX book export: Chapters?

[Peter Davis]

I'm trying to export a LaTeX book (using scrbook style), but I don't
know how to make chapters. My book always comes out

Contents
0.1 First heading
0.2 Second heading

etc. I'm assuming making these headings into chapters will make the
table of contents come out right.

Clues?

Thanks,

You need to use or define an appropriate entry in org-latex-classes
which has top level headings translated to parts and second level to
chapters.  What have you used?

Aha! I did do this, but I just discovered I had defined this for
'article', not 'book'.

Fixing that helps a lot!

However, I'm having trouble creating a book that has no Parts ... just
Chapters.  If I only use '**' and lower headers, I still seem to get a
Part for each top level header.

Thanks!

How about creating your own LaTeX class entry in org-latex-classes that
maps top level headlines to chapter, 2nd level to section, etc.?

If you're not too tied to scrbook, the Memoir class is perfect for
books, highly documented and very customizable.

Best...

Hi, Eduardo,

No, I'm not tied to scrbook. That's just the first one I hit upon. I'll
certainly take a look at Memoir.

Thanks!
