Re: [O] trying to write a guidebook for students using org , need help with formating

[Xebar Saram]

Thank you all

"I think `org-export-preserve-breaks' is the option you want. Try setting it in a single buffer with #+OPTIONS:\n:nil and see what happens..."

that sounds interesting, but i couldn't understand how to use it (again im still an org novice:) )

do i stick this line at the start:

#+OPTIONS:\n:nil

is that ^^ syntax correct?

best

I think you are better off trying to do this with a specialised LaTeX
class.  A quick search led me to this TeX.SX question:
<http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/3852>.  You could also try using lists,
just disable the bullets with an option in an #+attr_latex line.
