Per chapter table of contents
If we want mini per-Chapter Table of contents before each chapter then we can use 'minitoc' package. When we use minitoc package we must use '\dominitoc' once before using '\tableofcontents' to initialize package. Then after each '\chapter{}' we can use '\minitoc' to generate per-Chapter mini table of contents.
Embedding fonts at compile time
To embed fonts in pdf at compile time (as required by IEEE, ACM, etc. papers) use 'updmap --edit' command and set
dvipsDownloadBase35 true pdftexDownloadBase14 true dvipdfmDownloadBase14 true
Note that sometimes default dvi viewer does not shows fonts correctly. In such cases use 'Okular' to see dvi files properly.
Hiding boxes around pdf exported using hyperref
Sometimes pdf exported using hyperref package have boxes around all links which is not desirable. To prevent box generation use:
\hypersetup{hidelinks}
command to change default configuration. One can also pass hidelinks option while including hyperref package to achieve same effect.
Paragraph and sub-paragraph numbering
To enable numbering for paragraph and sub-paragraph use:
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
Refer http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/130795/how-can-i-number-sections-below-subsection-in-latex
Setting text-color in LaTeX
To set text-color in LaTeX use:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames,svgnames,table]{xcolor}
Then something similar to
\textcolor{violet}{\textbf{Page \thepage}}
