This is more fragile than you would expect. If most of what you're doing is going to be LaTeX, it's easier just to write in .tex and eliminate the .org middle man. (I say this with a great love of Org mode, which I use everywhere else.)
- pvaldes 7y agoOrg mode would (probably) make a mess with R chunks included in the .tex file, for example. You can't compile from R to org to latex to pdf, so this can be a problem. Same problem with Python to Latex path if you put org in the middle of the way. By the way, I use .org files a lot also. Is handy for small and simple documents.
- _emacsomancer_ 7y agoEven with plain LaTeX I've had trouble with Org mode trying to decide when to 'smartly' switch into maths mode, and what should be literal, e.g. `\latexfunction{...}` is sometimes translated as `\\\latexfunction{...}` because Org decides it should escape the backslash.
