The LaTeX export back-end can handle complex documents, incorporate standard or custom LaTeX document classes, generate documents using alternate LaTeX engines, and produce fully linked PDF files with indexes, bibliographies, and tables of contents, destined for interactive online viewing or high-quality print publication.
While the details are covered in-depth in this section, here are some quick
references to variables for the impatient: for engines, see
org-latex-compiler
; for build sequences, see
org-latex-pdf-process
; for packages, see
org-latex-default-packages-alist
and org-latex-packages-alist
.
An important note about the LaTeX export back-end: it is sensitive to blank lines in the Org document. That’s because LaTeX itself depends on blank lines to tell apart syntactical elements, such as paragraphs.
