Re: [Orgmode] a better way with babel

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Robert,

One solution might be to tangle the LaTeX code blocks instead of  
exporting the buffer to LaTeX.  I like this approach--the org-mode  
buffer can be full of meta-data (and messy) but I retain fine control  
over the LaTeX output.

All the best,
