I see what you mean

As you'll see org-mode's latex export is currently designed to use org for basic document structuring and only allows for a limited set of mappings between org's structure and latex structure. But you'll see in the latex configuration documentation that it is possible to define what kind of \section{}, \chapter{}, or \subsubparagraph{} is exported for each level of org's headlines.

One imagines it would be possible to define alternate use cases for a class, for example the "article" class. I can see it is possible to define the article class to use

\\section{%s} for the first headline level
and
\\paragraph{%s} for second levels

This would be useful to me. However, the ordinary article structure with subsection, subsubsection, etc., is good enough for much of what I do. I can imagine copying the article class file into my org directory, and renaming it to article2.cls, and adding it to org-export-latex-classes, with the section -> paragraph structure.

Is there an easier or canonical way to do this?

Thank you for your interest and help.

Alan

Some examples might help. I may be particularly dense tonight but I have
read your mail a few times and I still have no idea what you are asking
(or rather I have multiple ideas, none of which make much sense to me.)

Thanks,
Nick
