Latex Export --> pdf

Latex Export --> pdf

[Simon Brown]

Evening all,

I have a question about how people use the latex exporter if I may, I 
can't find much on the interweb about it. How do you go about tarting 
up the output? The exporter creates 99% of what I want, but the margins 
are daft and I'd prefer a different font. I'm guessing you hand craft a 
LaTeX preamble of some sort? I am unfamiliar with LaTeX having taken 
the LyX route a long time ago. I could use LyX to do this, but I'd 
prefer it to be automagic. Should I start reading Lamport? Can anyone 
share a template?

Thanks

Simon

I did this:

M-x customize-variable RET org-export-latex-classes RET

and changed the LaTeX header for article to this here:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{longtable}
% BEGIN My Article Defaults
\input{/home/sebastian/develop/lib/latex/header-org-article-pdf.tex}
\input{/home/sebastian/develop/lib/latex/code.tex}
% END My Article Defaults


/home/sebastian/develop/lib/latex/header-org-article-pdf.tex and
/home/sebastian/develop/lib/latex/code.tex hold all the preferences I
need.


It's also possible to set up custom classes and include it into your
org-file.

Regards,

  Sebastian
