org-mode to LaTeX export

org-mode to LaTeX export

[Charles Cave]

There have been a few discussions on a facility for org-mode to export a buffer
into LaTeX. I was wondering what is the planned scope of this work?

I would like to be able to write an article in org-mode then create a LaTeX document
using the following transformations which should be configurable:

Headings
* 
**
***
and so on should be converted to the appropriate {chapter} {section} tags

*bold* /italic/ markup should be tagged

Lists, numbered and unnumbered be converted into the appropriate LaTeX
structures.


I wrote a Perl script to do most of this work but I don't know enough Lisp to
write a similar program.

Who is doing the work on LaTeX export? 
What features will you support?
How configurable will it be?

Many thanks
Charles

P.S. I am working on an update to my org-mode and GTD article.

Bastien has written an org-mode to latex export module which works perfectly
well.  I have tested it on several occasions and you can expect Bastien will
release soon.

It's on my (new) org-mode webpage now:

Not intensely tested on my side. Carsten already sent me some feedback,
and there are issues with the math export. Please feel free to send any
comment/bug - especially 'cause i'm off for three days :)

Best regards,
