Yes, I do.  Still using orgmode each day.

I do not have anything fancy going on and actually would like to know
how to set up appendices for LaTeX export.

I have the following outline:

* Review of Literature
* Methodology
* Findings
* Discussion
* Conclusion
* Footnotes
* References
* Appendices
** Appendix A
** Appendix B
** Appendix C

The LaTeX export of course does not know the that last chapter should
contain the appendices.  I have tried to insert several LaTeX commands
in the orgmode file, but I could not make it work.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks,
Henri-Paul

Use the \appendix command to turn on alphabetic numbering.

If you want the last three headlines to each have a different letter,
then you make them top-level headlines instead of children: 

* References
\appendix
* Appendix A
* Appendix B
* Appendix C

If there is anything useful from the link above that should
be added to Worg, please let us know.

Thanks!

Well its just my customisation that lets me include Appendices and a
Bibliography in the regular org document tree for latex export. However
I have not ported my customisation to the new export engine.

For the last few months (and the coming month or two) I have been
extremely busy. When I have time I can write-up nicely for Worg and put
it in org-hacks (under LaTeX export). However if someone else could do
it earlier, you are welcome to give it a shot. :) I think the SO answer
is complete enough and can be included almost as is (except for the
missing new exporter changes). In any case, once there is an entry it
can be refined endlessly. :)

Thanks,
