Certainly - I did not argue that the exporter should do this. I just pointed out its limitation and that the limitation would be tough to lift. Nick
[O] LaTeX export - can't skip a heading level
Using org-mode 7.8.03, I've found that exporting to LaTeX has a tough time if you try to skip a header level. For example, to prevent my TODO items being numbered, one method is to make them a lower-level heading, and then make that level un-numbered. However, if I try the following: * To Do List *** TODO First item *** TODO Second item Then when exported to LaTeX, only the title appears (both TODO items are excluded). I tried make the first title one level lower, like this: ** To Do List *** TODO First item *** TODO Second item * Next Section Now the TODO list exports, though it now treats ** as the section header, so it hasn't solved that problem, and moreover, the next section is omitted entirely.

Not sure why the third level headlines are skipped if the second level headline is absent. This feels like a bug to me.

The latex exporter is very rigid about what it will accept: it wants the levels to be in strict sequence. So this has to be chalked down as a fairly deeply ingrained limitation of the exporter. I don't see an easy way to lift it. Nick
