Actually, let me take a few steps back from my specific question about
the title command. There are some other workflow questions that might
make that question redundant.
This journal (for some reason unknown to me) has designed the
publication format in MS Word, and there are some specific
requirements. So I have a couple of choices:
- Export to LaTeX, and try to reproduce their layout (likely with a
new document class based on "article"). That's a chunk of work, but
they also confirmed that I could send PDF as long as it follows the
style guidelines.
- Export to ODT. This is probably simpler for setup -- I'd probably
just need to change some of the names of paragraph or character
styles in their template so that org can find them for section
headings, abstract etc. But... there is more risk of the formatting
breaking. If I send .odt, MS Word might choke on it, or similar
if I resave my .odt as .docx. (The word online is that LibreOffice
does not do well saving docx.)
Or, export to ODT and let LibreOffice turn that into a PDF. I hesitate
to do this, when LaTeX is a far superior typesetter. (But, tweaking
all the formatting details in LaTeX is quite likely to give me some
more gray hairs...)
Advice? Thanks --
