Overview

Produces a pdf outline of the notes written in emacs org-mode using the latex outline package.

The latex outline package allows only 4 levels of depth and will have the form:

I. First main point A. First major sub-point of I. 1. Sup-point of A. a. sub-point of 1. * Another sub-sub-point.

B. Second major sub-point.
  1. Sub-point of B.

II. Second main point.

Any level deeper than 4 is shown as a bullet point.

Current state:

It works with the current release of org-mode, that is, org-6.33f.

Download:

Click on the download tab, and choose your preferred compressed format.

Manual Installation:

1. Uncompress the contents of the .zip or .tar.gz into a directory of your choice.

2. If you haven't modified these org-mode files (org-6.33f/lisp/org-exp.el, org-6.33f/lisp/org-install.el, and org-6.33f/lisp/org-latex.el) then copy all the files in the /path/to/uncompressed-download/lisp/ directory to /path/to/your/org-mode/lisp/ directory.

3. If you've modified the org-mode files, check the patches directory and apply them to org-exp.el, org-install.el and org-latex.el.

4. Re-start emacs.

Usage:

1. Add '#+LATEX_CLASS: outline' to the top of the org file you wish to export as an outline.

2. Type C-c C-E to bring up the export menu.

3. Type letter 'o', which exports your outline to pdf and opens it.

The interactive function can be called by

M-x `org-export-latex-as-outline'
