[Orgmode] Exporting org to LaTeX to PDF: headings do not convert to sections
An outline, when exported as PDF, shows no sections. When exporting to
LaTeX, the following message is received:
ERROR: LaTeX Error: Too deeply nested.
--- TeX said ---
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H return for immediate help.
...
l.110 \begin{itemize}
--- 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.

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.

I just realize that your question provides the answer to a question
I had for a long time: Why did Bastien implement lower
levels in the LaTeX export as {description} lists instead of
{itemize} lists. Now I know the answer: Because the number of levels
in a description list is not limited.
I recently changed Bastien's code to use itemize instead, for
consistence with HTML export. Fortunately I left the old code
in, with a customization option. Please try:
(setq org-export-latex-low-level 'description)
So far, this doesn't solve my problem. Should I then use description lists
for all outline entries?
I don't understand why I do not see section or subsection, and the
sections often come out with bare stars. Is this also because the number of
levels has been exceeded?
Thank you again. This is the first limitation of LaTeX I have not seen an
immediate way around.

No. This should just take your
headline
and export it as a description list item. Works just fine in my tests
here.

No, this must be a different bug, which I cannot reproduce. Example
file???

Are you, by any chance, using a top-level org file with #+INCLUDE lines? If so, you need to put at least one line with a single start before the include directives. I had a similar problem in the past and this solved my problem. That is: * Introduction #+INCLUDE abc.org #+INCLUDE def.org Each of the included org files can have their own top-level headlines and these are turned into the appropriate LaTeX sectioning commands.
