results follow these guidelines.</paragraph>

<listitem>
|

<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
|
|
taken from the first page of your document.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Do not create headers and footers with more than one line of text,
|
|
these will not be exported correctly to LaTeX.</paragraph>

<paragraph role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Background color</emph>: Background color is currently not supported

except in table cells. You should avoid using background color elsewhere.</paragraph>

<listitem>

<paragraph role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Graphics</emph>: Anchor graphics to paragraph or to character if you
|
|
want a floating graphic. If you want the graphic to be a part of the text flow, anchor it to character. Do not anchor
|
|
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.
|
|
If you need to insert a drawing, insert an embedded Draw object (<emph>Insert - Object</emph>).</paragraph>

depends on the selected LaTeX format.</paragraph>
