IDEA: Export LaTeX

IDEA: Export LaTeX

[Mikael Djurfeldt]

I just discovered org-mode in Emacs 22---what a great piece of software!

Would it qualify as an IDEA for implementation to add LaTeX as an export format?

I want to use org-mode's advanced table and calculation capabilities
to produce LaTeX-tables aimed for type-setting, but it seems to me
that org-mode can only export HTML-tables and not produce LaTeX code.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Best regards,
Mikael Djurfeldt

Even though this is a frequent request, LaTeX export of entire
org-mode documents has not yet been realized.

You can, however, embed an org-mode table into a LaTeX document, use
org-mode commands to edit it and to execute calculations in it,
and then convert it to LaTeX that will be processed correctly.
I am using this all the time when I make exercises for my students,
including computing results.

The version of Org-mode distributed with Emacs 22 can do this.

arbitrary-syntax

and for a direct LaTeX example

I've been working on it last week.  It's quite rudimentary for now but
still functionnal.  I'm debugging it and making it "readable" and i'll
announce it on this list next week.

I am really excited about this.
