Latex export, unnumbered sections

Latex export, unnumbered sections

[Nicolas Goaziou]

Hello,

I'm running into some kind of problem with my "export as latex and
process as pdf" setup. I would like to have all my headings numbered
but a few ones. Sadly, I don't know about any mean to specify
individually what header should be exported as starred or not.

I still can export to latex, edit it and then process it as pdf, but,
being the lazy type, I'd rather have it done "automagically".

So, am I missing an obvious option ? Has someone already solved that ?

Thanks for any insight.

I'm a new org user, but I've read the LaTeX export stuff pretty carefully,
and In don't think there is any native org-mode syntax that would allows
control over the numbering of an individual line. However, if you know what
level these unnumbered headings will be exported at, you may be able to just
to a Latex pass-through command:

\subsubsection{my unnumbered heading}

Just tested.  It appears to work.

Or you might be able to just figure out how you want the heading to look
(bold, font size, etc) and just pass through the commands to make that work,
just for those lines.

Barring that, I guess the solution is either to edit the LaTeX manually, or
come up with some bit of "unnumbering" syntax and write a LaTeX-adjusting
function that is run on one of the later hooks that are offered by the
export process. I can't find these in org's info documentation just now, but
they were added sometime after v.6.15, if I remember right, and were nicely
documented on the 'user visible changes' page.  That would require some
Emacs LISP, but it should be relatively simple

There is no support for mixed numbered/unnumbered sections.  And I don't
really think want to put that in.  Seems to me that this would be
the point where you want to switch over to LaTeX itself.

Indeed, org-mode doesn't aim at being a LaTeX front-end. I was just
thinking that tags could have an impact on export, much like CSS, but
for LaTeX. Now, it sounds way much complicated.

Anyway, I perfectly get your point. Thanks.

Can you give a short example of what it is you are trying to accomplish?

In the export options the H: value states how many heading levels to
export

,----[ top of one of my exported org files ]
| #+OPTIONS: H:2 num:t toc:2 \n:nil todo:t @:t ::t |:t ^:nil -:t f:t *:t TeX:t LaTeX:nil skip:t d:nil tags:t
`----

You can't specify individually which headlines should and shouldn't be
exported as numbered headlines as far as I know.
