Arem't you using latex styles? I recently wrote my Master's thesis. All I had to do to use my university style was put this in the header: #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[]{thesisstyle} This was followed by other thesis preamble related commands like my adding my examining committee, copyright notice, approval date and so on. In the following text I used regular org syntax to write the body of the thesis. I used babel latex src blocks for equations or multiple figures under one caption (I use this to gain syntax highlighting, plain latex with the text should also work fine. I hope this helps. PS: I am also thinking of writing a tutorial or "gotcha" page for a document like this on Worg once I have some free time. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
