I did not follow the thread here but I do think I get the idea that you want to replace LaTeX with Org-mode and generate a PDF via LaTeX/PDF-export functionality of Org-mode. On the one hand, I do agree that (simple) PDF documents are written very easily with Org-mode. But on the other hand you are going to add just another layer. This means that you probably end up wanting this LaTeX feature in Org-mode, that other handy LaTeX feature too and so forth. In my point of view, if you leave the basic stuff, you should stick to LaTeX. And I do have good news to you: You are very fortune because Emacs does have the IMHO most advanced editor support for LaTeX: AucTeX (with all of its extensions like preview-latex and RefTeX). I plan to use Org-mode as an outline tool for larger documents, where the basic structure evolves, keywords are moved from one part to the other. But before I start to write the detailed document content, I move to AucTeX, having the great possibilities for writing documents that end up being great PDFs. But this is just my point of view. -- Karl Voit
