Hi all,

this is an actual question, but it can be viewed as a continuation of
the "why use LaTeX directly and not Org" thread (disclaimer: from the
POV of an experienced LaTeX user and much less experienced Org-exporter
user).

So, I tried to do the opposite, just to learn something/unlock the "Org
Exporter" skill;-).  I want to export my Org file to the book class
(actually, a class similar to it, but never mind), but I want my
first-level headings to be chapters, not parts.  OTOH, I don't want to
modify org-latex-classes.  Is that possible, and if yes, how to achieve
that?

TIA,

AFAIK, no, not without modifying org-latex-classes - why don't you want
to modify it?

The easiest way is, unfortunately, to modify org-latex-classes but the
modification is simply adding an element to the list:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
               '("bookwithnoparts" "\\documentclass{book}"
                 ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
                 ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
                 ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
                 ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")))
#+end_src

or similar...

If you don't mind to live with part-chapter-section instead chapter-section-subsection:

---8<-----------------orgmode src-------------------->8---

#+LaTeX_CLASS: book

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\part\chapter
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\chapter\section
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\section\subsection

---8<---------------end of orgmode src---------------->8---

Regards.

Haha, thanks!  Not a clean way, but should work.  Nice!

Because I want this setup for only one file, and not necessarily globally.

BTW, I'll probably settle with this:

,----
| #+LATEX_CLASS: mwbk
| # Local Variables:
| # org-latex-classes: (("mwbk" "\\documentclass[11pt]{mwbk}" ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}") ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")))
| # End:
`----

Seems to do the trick (mwbk is a Polish-localized - or rather, European
- version of the book class).  The drawback is that it keeps asking for
confirmation that it is safe.  It seems that there is no option to mark
a /variable/ and not a /variable-value pair/ as "safe" as file local
variables - I guess I'll file an Emacs feature request for that.

Thanks to all, and best regards!
