I apologize in advance for what is likely to be a dumb question, but
I'm struggling to find documentation of the new exporter. Google
pointed to [1], but this is documentation for developers of new
backends. I only want to use the existing backends, and I want to
understand how the new _exporter_ is different from the old__.
Specific question: Is there an easy way to use a given LaTeX template
(.cls and .bib)? (I also found [2] but easy is not how I would
describe that.)
Not a dumb question. The Org mode community is working to move the new
exporter out of contrib/. The documentation at this point is the source
code, several of Nicolas Goaziou's posts to the mailing list, and some
not easy experiments that you've found.
The answer to your specific question is, yes, this works in the same way
as the old exporter. The following set up is one that I'm using for an
article prepared for PLOS-One. See the variable org-e-latex-classes for
how to use a LaTeX cls file. See the \bibliographystyle{} command for
how to specify a particular .bib file. I run the editing-setup code
block when I first enter the buffer. The export-setup-plos-one code
block needs to be tangled so there is an init-plos.el file in the same
folder as the Org mode file. If you change the name of the tangled file,
then this needs to be changed also in the variable
org-export-async-init-file in the editing-setup source code block.
Beware! The asynchronous export is habit forming :)
