;;
;; This library implements a LaTeX exporter for org-mode.
;;
;; Put this file into your load-path and the following into your ~/.emacs:
;;   (require 'org-export-latex)
;;
;; The interactive functions are similar to those of the HTML exporter:
;;
;; M-x `org-export-as-latex'
;; M-x `org-export-as-latex-batch'
;; M-x `org-export-as-latex-to-buffer'
;; M-x `org-export-region-as-latex'
;; M-x `org-replace-region-by-latex'
