A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

[Thomas S. Dye]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1723 bytes --]

Aloha all,

I'd like to draw your attention to a LaTeX class that I put together  
in response to posts here about configuring the output of the LaTeX  
exporter.  The class supports all of the Org-mode LaTeX default  
packages.  It supports the standard LaTeX article class and the KOMA- 
script scrartcl class and provides several choices of fonts.  In  
addition, it  includes facilities to apply microtypographic  
adjustments to suitable fonts, set the line spacing of the document to  
double space, set lists more compactly than the standard LaTeX  
article.cls, and typeset source code listings, optionally with color.

The documentation that should appear shortly in the Babel/Uses section  
of Worg includes two examples that illustrate use of the class.  The  
first uses the standard LaTeX article class and Times, Helvetica, and  
Courier fonts with a 12 point base size to typeset the literate  
program on 8.5 x 11 in. paper, with colored source code listings and  
microtypographic adjustments.

> #+LaTeX_CLASS: org-article-subsubsection
> #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [article,letterpaper,times, 
> 12pt,listings,color,microtype]

The second uses the KOMA-script scrartcl class and Utopia, Bera, and  
Inconsolata fonts with a 10 point base size to typeset the literate  
program on 5.8 x 8.3 in. paper in landscape mode, also with colored  
source code listings and microtypographic adjustments.  In addition,  
lists are set tighter than with the standard LaTeX article class.

> #+LaTeX_CLASS: org-article-subsubsection
> #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [koma,a5paper,landscape,utopia, 
> 10pt,listings,color,microtype,paralist]

The project is hosted at GitHub:

All the best,
Tom

Re: A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

[Scot Becker]

Well this is very cool.  A whole new paradigm for org-LaTeX
integration.  Well done.  I was especially glad for the introduction
to the 'paralist' package.

Could it be that the line to clone the git repo should be this:

git clone git://github.com/tsdye/org-article.git

instead of what I find in the document:

git clone git@github.com:tsdye/org-article.git

(which didn't work for me)?


And I think 'org-export-packages-alist'  should be
org-export-latex-packages-alist
in the section entitled: Org-Mode LaTeX Export Setup (1.4).

Also the code windows of the resulting PDFs dont' work that well for
pasting the the code blocks to the command line or into Emacs, but
don't know how to fix that. (Is 'microtype' meddling too much in the
code blocks?)

Anyway, many thanks for this.  I look forward to experimenting in the
days to come.

(resent to the whole list, whoops!)

Aloha Scot,

Thanks for catching my errors.  I've made the changes you indicated.

If microtype is messing with cut and paste, you can remove it from the  
#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: line and generate new pdf's (at least you can  
after everything is straight in .emacs).  Alternatively, you can cut  
and paste from the Org file, or (if you're looking to cut and paste  
from one of the sections full of noweb references) you can tangle the  
file to create the class file and cut and paste from it.

All the best,
Tom

Tom,

I tried to run and produce PDF using Miktex 2.8 on Windows (Emacs 23.1). I get 
an error:

(C:\bin\miktex-2.8\tex\latex\inconsolata\inconsolata.sty))

! LaTeX Error: File `nil.sty' not found.

and the PDF is not produced. I am a newbie at trying LaTeX so don't know quite 
where to begin solving the problem. Any help is much appreciated.

Any tips to solve this problem?

Srinivas,

I don't know what is causing that.  I've never seen it before.

Are you able to compile successfully with the times option (which  
doesn't use the inconsolata font?)

All the best,
Tom

Re: Re: A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

[Srinivas Pavani]

Tom,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Looks like something went wrong so I reinstalled MikTex 2.8 and tried again. I started off with simple PDFs and slowly built up.

I am finally able to get a pdf version that is close to yours.

Re: Re: A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Srinivas,

Good news.

I'm not sure what you mean by "close," though.  In the LaTeX world, a  
document is supposed produce the same output regardless of the  
platform or the output device.  "Close" is typically not good enough.

Feel free to ask questions when they arise.

All the best,
Tom

Re: A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Thomas,

Dan just made me look again at this thread, which I had not yet
studied closely.

I think you have created something very useful indeed.  I love
the compact lists, and I am sure there is a lot more I would use.
So I am wondering:  What can Org do to support and integrate this
class?  I can think of a couple of things:

- distribute it in contrib
- advertise it in the manual
- have it as one of the default classes in org-export-latex-classes

But maybe you have other ideas?

Cheers

- Carsten

Re: A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Carsten,

Thanks for your kind words.  I'm having fun with org-article.cls and  
am happy to have Org support in the ways that you mention.

Right now I think the class's main contribution is that it eases  
configuration of LaTeX export.

For the future (perhaps distant), I'm hoping org-article.cls will make  
the case that Org should identify other semantic elements in LaTeX  
export, leaving the details of their representation to the LaTeX class.

For example:

paths: Paths are frequently quite long and when they don't include  
spaces LaTeX can have a difficult time breaking them at the end of a  
line.  There is a LaTeX package, url.sty, that handles this.  I  
believe that the hyperref package loads url.sty for this  
functionality, so it is available to the LaTeX exporter with the  
current defaults.  If paths were identified in the export,
e.g., \org-path{/long/path/to/my/file/deep/in/the/directory/tree},
then the LaTeX class could typeset this with either the \url{} command  
(if hyperref wasn't being used), with \nolinkurl{} (if hyperref was  
being used), or some other way appropriate to the class.

lists: In addition to compact lists (I agree with you that they are an  
improvement over the standard LaTeX lists), it should be possible to  
typeset lists inside paragraphs.  I'm not certain how this might be  
handled in Org-mode, perhaps an #+property or other entity that could  
be set on a list-specific basis.  The LaTeX paralist package that is  
responsible for the compact lists does a good job typesetting lists in  
paragraphs, as well.

#+results:  I'm integrating Eric Fraga's GANTT chart code, which  
generates the LaTeX code to create a high quality graphic using an Org- 
mode table as input.  Currently, the #+results: of Eric's code aren't  
exported unless I add a blank line between the #+results: and # 
+BEGIN_LaTeX lines.  If, instead, the results block were exported  
inside a LaTeX environment, say \begin{org-results} \end{org-results},  
then org-article.cls (or any other LaTeX class) could define an  
environment to typeset the results appropriately.  With the blank line  
inserted, LaTeX export yields a listing of the LaTeX code, which is  
all well and good, but it doesn't get set off *as a result*, which  
might be useful to distinguish it from regular source code blocks in  
the Org-mode file.

I'm not advocating for any specific changes here.  I'm just trying to  
indicate a possibly useful development path for Org-mode LaTeX export  
in tandem with custom LaTeX classes.

All the best,
Tom

Great.  Would you like to make me a patch which does all this?
If you want, you can also create a new directory in contrib.
You can also have write permission for the git repo in order
to install updates for this.

Re: A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Carsten,

Much appreciated.  I hope the idea of custom LaTeX classes for Org- 
mode export proves useful to the community.

I have the patch on my list of things to do.  I don't work at the  
speeds you folks attain so the patch will probably seem slow in coming.

All the best,
Tom

Re: A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

[John Hendy]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 7049 bytes --]

Thomas,


Forgive my density... how does one use this? Or is it not available for
public consumption yet? I downloaded your git repo but org-mode complains
that it doesn't know about org-article. Where do I obtain the actual class
file?

I tried searching around on worg for the page you hinted at (mainly checking
the org-contrib page) but didn't see anything there.


Thanks,
John

Nevermind. Wow, I'm a doof. I see the git files *are* the instructions...

I continue to surprise myself...

Re: A LaTeX class for Org-mode export

[Mike McLean]

FWIW, I got past the same error by NOT including the line to add to
latex-packages-alist in my .emacs.

;;  (add-to-list 'org-export-latex-packages-alist '(("AUTO" "inputenc" t)))

My configuration is completely different that Srinivs, too: MacOSX -
Emacs 24.0.50.2 from source - Org mode from git (pre-release) to
25-November (88bd7bb).
