Hi Peter,


Actually, I hadn't understood your issue. I thought you weren't
getting headlines exported at all, as in a blank document, which might
require a bit more delving into. Now I get it and it makes sense. When
I use num:nil but want a TOC, I tend to just add the entries manually:

#+begin_example

* Introduction
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Introduction}

blah blah blah

* Conclusion
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Conclusion}

blah blah blah

#+end_example


Perhaps a bit manual, and it looks like you've gotten more automated
answers to use via #+latex_header arguments.


Good luck!
John
