XeTeX ⇒ Emacs | Debug org-mode Template

[petersalazar]

I'm a LaTeX newbie and I use Emacs org-mode to export to PDF via XeTeX.

I have a LaTeX export template I use with org-mode, and I've spent the last week trying and failing to figure out three things:

1. How to add color to my section headers.
2. How to put the section name in the header without the section numbering.
3. How to put a page break after the Table of Contents given that I'm generating everything from within org-mode.

With colored section headers, I've tried various packages and methods, but they must be conflicting with something else I'm doing because it's not working.

With the section name in the header, I followed instructions to remove section numbering:

Code: Select all

\\renewcommand{\\chaptermark}[1]{\\markboth{#1}{}}
\\renewcommand{\\sectionmark}[1]{\\markboth{#1}{}}

...but this just resulted in a header that displayed "Contents" on every page and never changed.

My template is below. If anyone wants to take pity on me and help me fix it, I would be forever grateful.

Code: Select all

Hello to the forum !

First the bad stuff: this does not compile... thus I can't help you much.

With what I can: for empty page on the contents:

Code: Select all

\tableofcontents
\clearpage %\newpage %\cleardoublepage (book only)

section without numbering (but you don't need numbers only in header):

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\thesection}{}

That's for now. Send something working
