Thanks for the tip Mike. I had no idea about this approach, I'm still
too naive in TeX/LaTeX. I'll definitely have to get my head around
both -- but it's reassuring to know that I can write the content in
orgmode and tweak the LaTeX output it later as I want.
By the way, any book recommendations ?

This is /one/ way, and the way I'd do it.
You'd need to do that specifically. I'd advice you to use my favorite

Thanks Thomas. I got enough proof org can really be used to write a
book after finding out that Avdi Grimm wrote and published his
exceptional ruby book (http://exceptionalruby.com/) using org ;)
It's nice to be part of such a great community. Orgmode ROCKS!
Thank you for the help, now I'll get s
Aloha Marcelo,
I don't /believe/ org will keep you from doing that.
My guess is that you are going to end up redefining the LaTeX \maketitle
command, see

I've done this once or twice--it's an adventure for someone with my

Cool, I will do!
But org doesn't impose some structure that might prevent me from
putting the cover in the first page? Just curious. I wouldn't also
like to have to edit the latex generated afterwards, but that's a
possibility.
Thanks!
Marcelo.

Aloha Marcelo,
Others might do this differently, but I don't use LaTeX for book
covers. I only use it for the pages of the book.
It sounds like your cover image is floating, which is something that
LaTeX does with tables and images. If you are new to LaTeX and don't
have a feel for how it handl
Thomas,
I have a more specific question. I have already managed to embed an
image to act as the cover of the book. However, the image is being
shown in the third page. I want the sequence to be like this:
1) Cover image
2) The sub-cover:
"Title""
My Name
Date
3) TOC
4) Intro, chapters..
Aloha Marcelo,
The approach I would take here, which might not be what you want, would
be to use inline markup:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html#sec-10_3
You would define the output for the various exporters in the link
definition, with something fancy for LaTeX and wh
Cool! Thanks.
Now that you mention it, I was wondering if something like "condition
export" is possible. For very specific localized LaTeX fetures, it
would be useful. Take this example:
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
#+LaTeX:\yinipar{\color{red}H}ello World
This created a first-lette

Hi list,
So today I have been reseaching about higher-levels toolkits that
could help me get into TeX (and or LaTeX) and at the same time
allowing me to keep the text in a more human-readable format (easier
to mantain and to convert to other formats if needed).
