Sorry for being unclear. Take, for instance, the following source file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+OPTIONS: H:2

* This is the first heading

Here is some text after the first heading.

** This is the second heading

Here is some text after the second heading.

*** This is the third heading

Here is some text after the third heading.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This outputs to tex as follows (preamble excluded):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\section{This is the first heading}
\label{sec-1}


Here is some text after the first heading.

\subsection{This is the second heading}
\label{sec-1.1}


Here is some text after the second heading.

\begin{description}

\item[This is the third heading]\label{sec-1.1.1}



Here is some text after the third heading.
\end{description}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When latex is run, the output looks like this. Note how the text after
the third heading is folded into the same line:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
1 This is the first heading 

Here is some text after the first heading. 

1.1 This is the second heading 

Here is some text after the second heading. 

This is the third heading Here is some text after the third heading. 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
