Re: Questions on LaTeX Exporter

Hi,

Well, to be fair the latex exporter have been there for years and I have
used it for non-important documents for years. But papers utilizing more
features have proven difficult, so far.

The problem might be traced back to my less-than-stylish prose :)

With folding, AUCTeX buffers become quite readable. But linking, plannig
and TODOs are nice. Previously, I have had a notes.org and several
tex files.

... And in that case AUCTeX provide a nicer environment in my
oppinion. Org would be nice for text heavy documents, though.

I haven't. I think one of either of the following would be nice.

   1) Have them fold like I do in AUCTeX (i.e. \fxnote{·} is replaced by
      [fix] in the buffer)
   2) Use special footnotes. This could be an org-centric system, without
      the need of fixme.sty. This would require that Org could tell the
      difference between fn:x and fix:x, and further, one would need to
      be able to specify which set(s) of footnotes were to be exported.

*More questions, sorry*

Org populates every section with a label. I would
like to \ref or \vref these. I could predict \label's, but this a rather
fragile solution. When I use "Org-links" I get a text link suitable
for e.g. html. I want to use \ref to get a number. One solution is

,----
|   * section
|   #+latex: \label{sec:sec}
`----

But there /must/ be a better way to this, eh?

And other question, which should also be simple, but which I have not been
able to figure out.

I have internalized word count in my org file using babel:

,----
| ** Getting Word Count
| #+srcname: wordcount
| #+BEGIN_SRC sh
|   #!/bin/bash
|   alias calc='Rscript -e "cat( file=stdout(), eval( parse( text=paste( 
commandArgs(TRUE), collapse=\"\"))),\"\n\")"'
|   calc `texcount -inc -sum -relaxed -1 -q -total assignment.tex`/400
| #+END_SRC
|
| #+results: wordcount
| : 0.6425
`----

First, this should be evaluated post-export, but this is a trival issue
as I can export the document in question twice. However, I want to
include the result in a \thanks{·}-node in the #+TITLE.

I have tried varioues methods, but so far without luck. To given an
example, I want to replace X by the results of my Babel-snip in the
following:

,----
| #+TITLE: \Large Education in Labor Markets With Asymmetric 
Information\thanks{Approximatly X words using \TeX Count}
`----

Thanks in advance,
Rasmus
