Re: [O] what settings would make original export to pdf as good as pandoc conversion?

i find that the following does not take effect the first time, but
works the second time.  not sure why that would be.

it looks much better now.  i think the main thing i would want is to
color links differently from the default red box, like maybe color the
text "#8968cd" and underline it so it looks kind of like a web page.

also, the pronoun "I" is boldface, which is disconcerting.  Acronyms
are also, but that is less disconcerting.

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("article"
               "
\\documentclass{scrartcl}
% alpha is the single \ for these three correct?
\[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
\[PACKAGES]
\[EXTRA]
\\setlength{\\parindent}{0pt}
\\setlength{\\parskip}{6pt}
"
               ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
               ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
               ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
               ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
               ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))

this seemed to work [when i run it twice at least].  thank you!

aren't the single \ removed by emacs lisp's string object parsing?
