Re: Adding a resume.cls to Org ?

Answers interspersed.

PS, The help for the variable “org-latex-classes” (C-h v
org-latex-classes) has a very detailed description (and examples
without the ~\\par)

I think this is copy-pasted from the mailing list.  I forgot why I put
it there and in the sectioning definition below.

this belongs to the koma-script package which is part of most TeX
distributions.  I testet a “algol60.cls” file which is in the same
directory as the .org file.

This is what the LaTeX exporter puts in the TeX file.

yes

no, but you have to tell org the sectioning structure of the class.

yes, but typically you get one of the things which are in the
standard LaTex document classes “article”, “report”, “book” etc.

~ is a non-breaking space, \par is a blank line in TeX.  (This is what
the comment above is about).
