Using the templates
You can use some special
Writer templates provided with Writer2LaTeX configurations to
create your documents. Using the styles supported by these templates, you can easily create standard LaTeX documents
using the opportunities of standard LaTeX document classes.
For this initial version, templates for the standard LaTeX classes article
are provided. More templates will be added later (report, book, beamer...), and you can also add your own templates.
The article template
Choose File - New - Templates and Documents - Writer2LaTeX
This template contains a number of styles that corresponds to LaTeX code.
If you use these styles and makes sure to use the configuration W4L: Article when you convert your document
(this is selected automatically) with Writer2LaTeX, you will get a result that resembles a handwritten LaTeX file.
Note that hard formatting and any other styles will be ignored. The available styles are summarized in the following tables.

The text content of the paragraph is inserted as verbatim LaTeX code.
For the verbatim environment, only characters available in the input encoding are accepted.
Other characters are converted to question marks and other content is discarded, eg. footnotes.
Special paragraph styles for tables
%PRODUCTNAME Writer supports multipage tables with repeating headers.
LaTeX on the other hand also provides support for repeating foots and special header and foot on the first repspectively last

Note that the special pagragraphs appear colored in %PRODUCTNAME Writer for clarity, but the colors will be removed in the export
to LaTeX.
