[Nicolas Goaziou]

Hello,

While fiddling with latex export, I wondered if there was a variable to
specify some more packages that should be added the code produced — i.e.
I'd like to add \usepackage[frenchb]{babel} everytime.

I could somehow manage to write a function adding it after exporting the
code — maybe with the help of a hook — but I can't help thinking it
would be messier.

On another topic, it looks like the latex export process doesn't play
well with the "description" environment. In fact,

 - a :: first
 - b :: second

is rendered as

\begin{itemize}
\item a :: first
\item b :: second
\end{itemize}

Odd, isn't it ?

Not odd, description lists have not yet been implemented in the LaTeX  
exporter.

For the Latex users, I feel i should also point out this tool called
Plans Unfolding.
http://www.myreckonings.com/PlansUnfolding

I've not had a chance to play with it properly, but it uses latex
templates for all of its reports, so might be a handy resource/tool
