Another simple solution that doesn't require changing the default configuration is: just don't use top level headlines in your document! I don't think Org will care if your highest-level headlines start with "**". That may or may not work for your particular situation, but it seems like a good option to keep in mind! -- Best, Richard

Exactly what Ken said. Look at the documentation for org-latex-classes to
see the full description. You can see an example in my Emacs config:
https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org#various-exporters
(look
for the paragraph that starts with "Some customizations for the LaTeX
exporter"). Once that is defined, you can specify the name you used as the
value of "#+latex_class:" at the top of your org file, e.g.:
#+latex_class: book-no-parts

What about customizing org-latex-classes?
It contains:
("book" "\\documentclass[11pt]{book}"
("\\part{%s}" . "\\part*{%s}")
("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")))
Seems like modifying that could provide the behavior you're looking for.
-k.
[O] In LaTeX export, can I control what heading type a headline goes to?
By default the LaTeX export uses the article class, and headline levels are
mapped to headings this way: top level becomes section, second level becomes
subsection, third level becomes subsubsection. That's simple and works very
well.
If the book class is used, then the top level becomes part, the second level
becomes chapter, the third level becomes section, the fourth level becomes
subsection, etc. That works well too, of course, but what if I don't want to
use "part"?
Is there a way, exporting as a book, to make Org skip "part" and make a
top-level Org headline turn into a chapter? Is there a built-in way, or do I
need to make my own class in org-latex-classes that has the structure I want?
(In LaTeX the problem doesn't arise, of course: don't use \part{} and just
start with \chapter{}.)
