Re: latex options

Thanks Andreas! This is very helpful. 

I am using tags to control how verbose I want my export to be 
and currently they differ slightly between projects. Quite often 
I also have project specific tags. But no problem I think that’s 
manageable with the layout you suggested. 

Best, 
Zhihao
