Start Appendix in LaTeX - better way than \appendix?

Start Appendix in LaTeX - better way than \appendix?

Hi

I am working on a document with appendix and at the moment the org file
looks effectively like this:

,----
| ...
| * Acknowledgments
| 
| \appendix
| 
| * ##### From Here is Appendix ####     :noexport:
| * Parameter
| * Code
| ...
`----

So the appendix separator for LaTeX is in the section
*Acknowledgements* with the visual separator following.

This works, but is kind of strange, as #/appendix# is not actually part
of *Acknowledgements*.

Is there a better / more org way of doing this, or do I have to live
with this?

Thanks,

Rainer

I tend to do something like this:

#+begin_src org
  ,* (new page)                               :ignoreheading:
  ,#+latex: \newpage
#+end_src

in conjunction with this export hook:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun esf/remove-lines-with-ignore-heading-tag (backend)
    (message "Deleting lines with ignore heading tag")
    (while (search-forward-regexp "^\\*+.*[ \t]+[a-ZA-Z0-9:]*:ignoreheading:[a-ZA-Z0-9:]*$" (point-max) t)
      (cond
       ((eq backend 'latex) (replace-match "#+latex: % \\&" ))
       ((eq backend 'html) (replace-match "#+html: <!-- \\& -->" ))
       (t (replace-match "")))))
  (add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook 'esf/remove-lines-with-ignore-heading-tag)
#+end_src

I use the ignoreheading kludge a lot for structuring documents that will be exported.

Obviously change "newpage" for "appendix" in the above example...

This is brilliant - thanks.

I think this should be included directly i org as may questions were
related to exactly this - entries without headings.

Thanks,

Rainer

Use a filter that inserts "\appendix" when it sees a particular property
or tag in a headline.

It would be nice to introduce a general property for arbitrary code just
before a headline.
