LaTeX export bug

LaTeX export bug

[Dan Griswold]

Hi there,

Well, I think this a bug.

Given this org input file:

,----
| * Things
| ** A Heading
|    - some
|    - stuff
|    - in
|    - a
|    - list
| ** Another heading
|    - another
|    - list
`----

then if I select the level one heading (titled "Things") with C-c @, and
export to LaTeX using C-c C-e l, I get this output:

,----
| % Created 2009-07-29 Wed 20:24
| \documentclass[12pt]{article}
| \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
| \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
| \usepackage{graphicx}
| \usepackage{longtable}
| \usepackage{hyperref}
| 
| 
| \title{Things}
| \author{Daniel M. Griswold}
| \date{July 29, 2009}
| 
| \begin{document}
| 
| \maketitle
| 
| ** A Heading
| \begin{itemize}
| \item some
| \item stuff
| \item in
| \item a
| \item list
| \end{itemize}
| ** Another heading
| \begin{itemize}
| \item another
| \item list
| \end{itemize}
| 
| \end{document}
`----

Note that the top level headings ("A Heading" and "Another Heading") are
not exported as \section, but with the asterisks they have in the org
file:

,----
| ** A Heading
| \begin{itemize}
| 
|   ... snip ...
| 
| \end{itemize}
| ** Another heading
`----

Exporting the whole file does what it's supposed to do: export the
headlines as \section and \subsection.

Can any of you reproduce this?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Yes I can reproduce this too.
Org-mode version 6.28trans
GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of
2008-11-09 on raven, modified by Debian

That's good to know. It's not my configuration, then.

Not sure, but I would guess that the problem lies in the function
org-export-as-latex in org-export-latex.el, probably in the section that
begins with the comment "export the content of headlines" (line 498).

But try as I might, I can't entirely grok this, so I don't know how else
to help track down the cause of the bug.

Dan
