Hi again Chris!

OK, so I understand a little bit of this. I would like to keep all my
letters in subheadings in a single org doc, and just export once. This
version requires a fair amount of latex in every subtree. It would be nicer
if the exporter just took care of the latex for me and I didn't have to
look at it while I'm composing (I know that's not an issue for you,
Chris).

Is my best option to create an export-derived-backend based on latex (I see
that's what John K has done in scimax)? Or is the preferred method to
create a new latex class (whatever that is -- really I have no idea) and
add the header and closing lines to that?

Also... where should I go to learn more about latex (I have beengoogling,
I've found some places, am wondering what the *best* place is)? It appears
I am approaching adulthood and am ready to learn how to use it, after years
of resisting :-/
