# LaTeX export in org-mode: the overhaul
Pedro A. Aranda Gutiérrez (he, him) - paaguti@gmail.com, <mailto:paaguti@gmail.com>

During the last year, the LaTeX backend in Org mode has received an overhaul.
The objectives, while keeping backward compatibility, were:
- Better integration of the font-management features and packages with
lualatex/xelatex
- Reducing the amount of `#+LATEX_HEADER:` lines and avoiding to have to
include a pure LaTeX file to profit from them
- Flexibility, while using native Emacs Lisp features, like file/directory
local variables
In this talk, I will present the new font management features in the LaTeX
backend and show a couple of examples of what can be achieved.
About the speaker:
After 30 years using Emacs, professionally and for my PhD, I'm currently
quite involved in org-mode, where I'm revamping the LaTeX backend.
## Discussion / notes
- Not a question but I will start using LaTeX fonts in org now
- Q: How's about video (mp4) support for ox-latex? I start to give
presentations with many videos. This is something that really push
me back using ox-latex.
- A: Experiment with a LaTeX file and then try to include the
relevant snippets in #+BEGIN_EXPORT latex
- [https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc/](https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc/){rel="noreferrer noopener"}
can embed and play videos. For Org, latex fragments work fine.
- Thank you for all your information, I will try it and see.
Thank you.
