Frequently Asked Questions

LaTeX is the standard format for academic publishing, journals, and conferences. Converting from Org-mode lets Emacs users prepare manuscripts in their preferred environment while producing publication-ready LaTeX output.

Headlines become sections, text formatting maps to LaTeX commands, lists become itemize/enumerate, tables become tabular environments, code blocks become listings, and math expressions pass through directly to LaTeX.

First-level headlines (*) become \section, second-level (**) become \subsection, and so on. You can control the top-level mapping using document class options in the output.

Yes. Org-mode's LaTeX math fragments ($inline$ and \begin{equation}) pass through unchanged to the LaTeX output. Your equations render exactly as written.

Code blocks become lstlisting or minted environments depending on settings. Language hints are preserved for syntax highlighting when you compile the LaTeX document.

Yes. Org tables convert to LaTeX tabular environments with proper column alignment. Simple tables work directly; complex tables with formulas may need manual adjustment.

Org-mode citation syntax [[cite:key]] converts to LaTeX \cite{key} commands. You can use your existing BibTeX database with the generated LaTeX file.

Org footnotes become LaTeX \footnote commands. Cross-references to sections and figures work via labels, though you may need to adjust label format for your LaTeX template.

The generated LaTeX includes a basic document class. Add your custom preamble, packages, and macros after conversion. This gives you full control over the final document styling.

Excellent for thesis chapters. Write in Org for easy outlining and note-taking, then export to LaTeX for your university's required format. Combine with your institution's thesis template after conversion.
