My initial beef with your code it that it seems, from skimming the code, to replicate a lot of functions from ox-latex. This means that when ox-latex.el updates, we might have to backport the changes into ox-tufte-latex. It’s already some work keeping ox-beamer and ox-latex up to date (e.g. I added a some feature to ox-latex and only realized much later that I hadn’t added it to ox-beamer). E.g. org-tufte-latex--inline-image is very much alike org-latex--inline-image. I don’t know to what extend it would be possible to minimize replication. Perhaps you already did this and perhaps my comments are merely following from the fact that I did not study your patch appropriately (I’m traveling ATM). Another question is, what features would we need to make more flexible in ox-latex in order to obsolete your class or reduce it to an element in org-latex-classes? Is there some areas where it’s lacking for the purpose of "tufing" ox-latex output? In any I’m very happy that you are working on this. I hope the above is not discouraging; that’s at least not what it’s meant to be. Thanks, Rasmus -- Vote for Dick Taid in an election near you!
