[O] [PATCH] Stop with an error if the LaTeX class is not known to the new exporter

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello Nicolas,

I've lost (a bit of) time looking at why my documents were wrong with the new
exporter. The fact is I've customized:

     (setq org-e-latex-default-class "myarticle")

but hadn't added yet that private class to the list `org-e-latex-classes'.

The result: a PDF, but completely undreadable, as it's missing the
`documentclass' directive.

Here a patch to throw an error to the user, signaling he's forgotten some
pieces of the puzzle, in case he played with such vars. Better stop early, and
giving hints to the user how to correct the problem, no?

Feel free to adapt it to your wishes.

Best regards,
  Seb

Subject: [PATCH] Throw an error when class is unknown

* org-e-latex.el (org-e-latex-template): Throw an error when the LaTeX class
  is not part of `org-e-latex-classes'.
