If there was a way to specify certain headlines were "special" and needed to be exported according to the sub-tree properties, that would be ideal. Although I haven't looked into it, I'm afraid it would require some lisp intervention. That said, I just found a possible workaround. If you put the appendix and bibliography and friends under the Footnotes headline, it somewhat replicates the behaviour I would like to have. Something like this: * Footnotes [fn:1] footnote 1 [fn:2] footnote 2 #+INCLUDE: thesis-appendix.org :minlevel 1 #+LaTeX: \backmatter #+LaTeX: \newpage #+LaTeX: \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname} #+LaTeX: \bibliographystyle{plain} #+LaTeX: \bibliography{master} After my thesis defence I might actually get around to attempting to deal with this in lisp. Would be a good learning excercise. :) > Chris -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
