[Orgmode] Re: [PATCH] Compiling multiple times the LaTeX output

[Bruno Tavernier]

Hey Matthew,

Thanks for the pointers.
I toyed with it a bit but that wasn't very successful.

It does default to latex, what I meant was that it default to pdflatex
with org-mode current setup.

Setting the variable LATEX=xelatex indeed makes the compilation goes via
xelatex. However, texi2dvi seems to expect a .dvi to be generated (which
xelatex does not do) and thus fail to compile.

pdflatex -v
,----
| pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2 (TeX Live 2009/Arch Linux)
`----

and still none of the above work. .eps file still require latex.

Nevermind though, the "#+LATEX_CMD" approach that is mentionned in my
previous post in this thread does the job. :-)

Emacs ought to be customized by the user!
