BUG? Exporting "missing level" to LaTeX fails

BUG? Exporting "missing level" to LaTeX fails

Hi

Considering the following file:

* first
* second
* third
*** FIRST
*** SECOND
* fourth

If I export to htrml, the "missing level" is exported "properly", but in
the LaTeX / pdf export, all levels below the "missing level" (FIRST,
SECOND) are not exported.

Am I right in considering this a bug?

Cheers,

Rainer

I'd call this a limitation of the current LaTeX exporter, which requires
the Org file to be propertly structured (i.e. with no missing levels.)

Well - agreed on the "not properly structured" part, but that limitation
cost me more then an hour work to figure out why my longish document
does not export one heading.

Would it be possible, to print a warning when that happens?

Sorry, it's not that easy.  I added a note to the manual in the first
paragraph of the "LaTeX and PDF export" section.  Hope it's informative
enough.
