Hi Bastien, I was planning to use this to create an automated platform for writing my PhD thesis.The plan was to use org to edit separate files corresponding to the chapters of the thesis. Those chapters would then be exported to latex and included (preferably by an automated tool) in a master file that takes care of administrative boilerplate (preambles, cover sheets, boring style configurations, etc, etc...).
The idea was to separate latex boilerplate from the text itself. I must use all kinds of custom styles in latex to conform to my university norms, and I wanted to start to write the text in a way that was independent of this boilerplate and only care about it when I must compile a "distribution version". I guess I'll have to try to do this differently. What I really was interested in doing is a "org-thesis" or "org-text-production" package, in the spirit of "org-babel" or "org2blog". But I don't know much of lisp to be honest (the only functional language I'm familiar with is haskell). My original idea involved a huge makefile and some python scripts, which seems to be a sub-optimal solution. I also played a bit with using an org master file to include each chapters, but I had some problems. Anyway, if you have any kind of tip or suggestion about this, I'm really interested! :D Thanks, --- Rafael Calsaverini Dep. de Física Geral, Sala 336 Instituto de Física - Universidade de São Paulo rafael.calsaver...@gmail.com http://stoa.usp.br/calsaverini/weblog CEL: (11) 7525-6222 USP: (11) 3091-6803 On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 20:05, Bastien <b...@altern.org> wrote: > Hi Rafael, > > Rafael Calsaverini <rafael.calsaver...@gmail.com> writes: > >> is it possible to export an org file to latex with no preamble and no >> \begin{document}?? > > Not at the moment.
