Re: [O] M-RET vs C-RET
Hi, [ ... ] Here's another of my pet-griefs - a - b | → M-RET will give me an itme | → M-RET will give me a headline Why is the behavior a function of amount of whitespace/newlines to nearest element? This makes not sense to me and goes against what I want, namely act in accordance to element at point. . . Blank lines belong to the element at point above. In particular, number of blank lines is meaningful in plain lists and footnote definitions (2 blank lines mark the end of the element). In the first line, you're still in the list, in the next one, you're not anymore, hence the behaviour. Think about - a - b /I/ know why it does what it does. But how about the guy who's been using Org for five minutes? Even knowing the technical/syntax reason, I do not find this to be predictable, and meaningful—especially in my initial example, less so when separating items by two lines. Just to add to that side thread: I too fall regularly into that and have to undo, add more newlines and hit M-RET again. I have been using orgmode for quite some time and still this is not 'predictable' for me. Regards, Andreas

Although I have been using LaTeX for almost 30 years, I now do all of my writing in org with the odd LaTeX directive when necessary. With all the various LaTeX helper bits in org (e.g. preview), there is little advantage to writing directly in LaTeX any longer. For me, the killer feature is the ability to put inline tasks in the document so that I know what I need to work on without having to have a separate task list or todo items within my general day to day task list. Then a simple C-c / t shows me all the tasks for the current document. I am working on adapting a thesis LaTeX template into org-mode. The template is set up with a main.tex having several individual files (chapters, appendices, etc) \include'd. I believe that I could parallel this using org's publishing mechanism. An alternate approach would be to use one single file, since I can simply fold chapters to focus my workflow. Indeed. My first concern is losing the ability to use internal links if I use separate files. Another thought is compilation time if I use one file and must always run pdflatex over the entire document. I'm sure there are pitfalls either way that I'm not yet aware of. As others have said, you can export just subtrees when you wish.
