# 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.
