[Orgmode] latex <-> org ?

[Dan Davison]

Has anyone worked on reversible transformation between org and latex?
I'm collaborating on a latex document with some non-org
users. Basically what I'd like to do is transform a latex document
into an org document, fold/unfold sections and edit the document under
org-mode, and then reconvert to latex. The end result would be as if
the transformation to org had never happened.

At its simplest those functions would convert between '\section' <->
'* section', '\subsection' <-> '** subsection' etc, but obviously
there's a lot more that could be done such as all the conversions that
org-export-to-latex does; I imagine that function couldn't be used
directly, but ideally the inverse of the latex->org function would
share conversion code with org-export-to-latex. Does this idea make
sense, and has anyone already worked on this?
