Perhaps I can get this done, but I have one important question. When I define a new "class" in org-export-latex-classes, does it make sense to add a new class that calls the same /documentclass{article} class? I could name this class article2, and define the section structure as I will. Hope this is not a silly question. MY head feels dense today, Alan On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 11:09 AM, Alan E.
