I was recently crawling through the LaTeX export code, because I was getting different results for how a heading was exported depending on whether it was simply a section title or whether it was the title for the whole document. (See: [1]) It was quite a chore for me to understand the different code paths that a headline can go through. I still don't fully understand why things are this way; shouldn't all text that's exported to LaTeX be processed in the same way, regardless of where it appears (with the exception, of course, of text between delimiters that mark it as literal LaTeX input)? I sent a patch [2] that basically dealt with my problem by sending headlines that become document titles down the same code path that headlines and content are sent through (namely, org-export-preprocess-string), but I haven't received any response. Is that because there's some important reason to treat these contexts differently? Am I missing something?
