You are right, you can compile a region in AUCTeX, or export just
a region in org, but the problem (besides having to select

Wow, I expected a little help, but never to spark such a conversation.
Thanks to all for the comments.
Thanks to all who suggested sticking with one file. That was the main
issue I needed to sort out, and I'm glad I have a way foward

My five cents.
Pretty long ago I started writing my thesis as a single LaTeX file so I
see no reason to redo it in Org format. Nevertheless I began use Org
mode almost exlusively for writing articles. Thanks to Org I can keep
all information needed for article in one file. I find helpful using
exp

Others have already given you good advice, but since I am also writing
my thesis in Org, I thought I would chime in. Like you, I felt a bit of
trepidation when I

I would encourage this. Although I have been using LaTeX for almost 30
years, I now do all of my writing in org with the o

Aloha Jake,
In my experience, the one file approach is easiest with Org mode. I've
written a book in Org mode using this approach and found it to be quite
comfortable. Compilation time wasn't ever a big deal for me, but this
