l2org a LaTeX to emacs org mode converter

**Purpose:** Enable full roundtrip latex to org-mode to latex conversion, e.g., when collaborating with someone who works with latex.

**Limitations:**

  • Many latex features have no corresponding org-representation, and more often than not it is better to keep the original latex. E.g., there is almost no benefit to converting tables to org-syntax. As such, this converter will simply wrap all special environments in latex-export blocks. See the exclude_env variable to specify a list of environments that should not be wrapped.
  • Latex class and include files will require manual adjustments, as the imported latex headers may conflict/overlap with the existing export defaults in emacs
  • Missing bibliography related files may result in strange errors.

**Features:** l2org does a reasonable job of converting text and citations into org-mode. Note that this version will convert to org-ref v3 citation syntax (https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref).

**Requirements:** python >= 3.9 and pathlib

**Acknowledgments:** This code is loosely based on https://github.com/MarcvdSluys/Orgmode-convert, but has an entirely different focus.
