Following this org export tutorial -- https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html -- I evaluated -- in an emacs -q instance --

(require 'ox-latex)
(unless (boundp 'org-latex-classes)
  (setq org-latex-classes nil))
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("article"
               "\\documentclass{article}"
               ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
               ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
               ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
               ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
               ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))

and exported

* one
** two
*** three
**** four

but the last heading was still exported into an enumerate environment instead of into a paragraph. What am I missing?

Org mode exports structured headlines only up to a depth of org-export-headline-levels. Try C-h v on this variable to read more. Headlines deeper than this level, which is 3 by default, are exported as lists - \{enumerate} in LaTeX.

To get the structure you want you can either set the variable to 4 or more manually or using Customize. It can also be set on a per-file basis, using #+OPTIONS

#+OPTIONS: H:4
* one
** two
*** three
**** four

  • Odd that the tutorial said nothing about that, when it showed a 5 level customization. – Toothrot Feb 28 '18 at 10:49
  • Yes - although the tutorial says it's for Org Mode < v8.0. It's possible that this feature was modified or possibly the default value changed somewhere in the past few years. – Reign of Error Feb 28 '18 at 15:28
