Re: kaobook tex template integration to a org file to make self-contained, portable?

[Zenny]

Thanks Christian for the pointer,

But I already have,

 (add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
               `("kaobook"
                 ,(string-join
                   '("\\documentclass{kaobook}"
                     "\\usepackage{color}"
                     "\\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}")
                   "\n")
                 ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
                 ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
                 ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
                 ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
                 ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))

yet `C-c C-e l o` fails to produce pdf.

Cheers,

Hi,

For starters, have you added the kaobook document class to the variable
org-latex-classes? (If yes, ignore the rest of this message, if not, do
so and see what happens.)

This is needed to tell Org how to set the document class and what commands
are used for sections. See the manual 13.10.2 and 13.10.3,
[[info:org#LaTeX specific export settings]] and [[info:org#LaTeX header
and sectioning]], and look up the docstring for org-latex-classes if you
need help.

E.g., in .emacs I have this for Tufte-Latex:

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("tufte-handout" "\\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{tufte-handout}"
               ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
               ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")))

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("tufte-book" "\\documentclass[11pt,a5paper,nols]{tufte-book}"
               ("\\part{%s}" . "\\part*{%s}")
               ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
               ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
               ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")))

Yours,
Christian
