[O] New exporter documentation?

[James Harkins]

I apologize in advance for what is likely to be a dumb question, but I'm 
struggling to find documentation of the new exporter. Google pointed to 
[1], but this is documentation for developers of new backends. I only 
want to use the existing backends, and I want to understand how the new 
_exporter_ is different from the old__.

Specific question: Is there an easy way to use a given LaTeX template 
(.cls and .bib)? (I also found [2] but "easy" is not how I would 
describe that.)

I suppose I've just overlooked a blindingly obvious link somewhere...TIA,
hjh
