By installing Writer4LaTeX you will thus be available to author well-structured LaTeX documents using (almost) the full power of

%PRODUCTNAME Writer.

The functionality of %PRODUCTNAME Writer with Writer4LaTeX can be compared to the application

<paragraph role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Page styles</emph>: %PRODUCTNAME Writer offers a sofisticated
|

page style scheme, where every page style can define another style to be used for the next page.
|
||||
You can thus have something like Style A → Style B → Style C.
|
||||
In LaTeX this is only possible in the first step of a page sequence:
|
||||
The example above will produce Style A → Style B → Style B in LaTeX.
|
||||
You should beware of this when you design your page styles. Note that explicit change of page style with
|
||||
<emph>Insert - Manual break</emph> is not affected by this limitation.</paragraph>

<paragraph role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">In LaTeX the same page geometry is used for all pages. The dimensions are

graphics to page as this will make the graphics turn up the wrong place in your document.
|

You are advised not to wrap text around graphics as this is not exported to LaTeX anyway.</paragraph>
|

<paragraph role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Also, do not use drawing objects inserted directly in the text (using the

Drawing toolbar). These will not be converted to LaTeX.
