I'm writing technical instructions in an educational context (technical course handout, etc.). I wanted to include sections with icons and "boxes" much like what exists for alert blocks in beame, but I'm using the article layout. I've found that the bclogo LaTeX environment suits that need, which allows me to construct something like the following, using LaTeX special block: #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[tikz]{bclogo} ... #+ATTR_LATEX: :options [noborder=true,logo=\bcattention]{Important warning} #+BEGIN_bclogo Attention, students, read this carefully. #+END_bclogo I though this could be a quite generic need, for which I struggled to find instructions, thus sharing the tip with the org-mode community. Maybe there are other alternatives to bclogo [0], which may then be worth sharing too. Hope this helps, [0] http://www.ctan.org/pkg/bclogo -- Olivier BERGER http://www-public.telecom-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/ - OpenPGP-Id: 2048R/5819D7E8 Ingenieur Recherche - Dept INF Institut Mines-Telecom, Telecom SudParis, Evry (France)
