Hi Alan,

this is a fundamental limitation in LaTeX

See http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=toodeep

The only thing you can do in Org is to increase the number of headline levels to the maximum possible:

#+OPTION H:5

is I think the maximum you can get.  You cal also create a
LaTeX class with more headline leves and push H even further.
I believe there are some clases which provide at least subsubparagraph.

If you have a good idea how to represent deeper levels in LaTeX, maybe we
can do something clever in the LaTeX exporter.

Besides this, I see no further way out of this problem.

An outline, when exported as PDF, shows no sections. When exporting to LaTeX, the following message is received:

   --- HELP ---
There are too many list-making environments nested within one another. How many levels of nesting are permitted may depend upon what computer you are using, but at least four levels are provided, which should be
   enough.

When I am able to clear out a couple of levels of /begin{itemize}, LaTeX does compile, and produces a file with sections as expected.

Is there a solution, or something I ought to know?

I have tried to set some options, like sec:5, in the outline, but to no effect. In the PDF, instead of sections with numbers, one finds several stars, as though this were an ascii export.

Thank you for any advice.
