Of course, `org-latex-classes' is a template. But it doesn't apply on table of contents. However, Org needs some ways to control them. Therefore it needs to handle optional arguments in \section macros and alike. > so if something may be inserted in the template without notice, instead it > should be better if it has more arguments. say additional %s. if only there > is two of them in the template you can add alternative title, There are already other ways to control the alternative title.

Though, Aaron Ecay's patch should solve most of the cases: no alternate title will be added if you don't use ALT_TITLE or tags:not-in-toc option. > but i wanted to contribute to the development of org. You're welcome. But for the problem at hand, your patch isn't, IMO, an acceptable solution. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
