Description
Description / Beschreibung
When exporting either a view or the answers list in LaTeX format, the generated document is not stand-alone and cannot be compiled.
It seems to lack the preamble:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}
\begin{document}
\definecommand{hypertarget}{...}
Metadata are also not exported.

Research direction
Start at the export paths reached from the project answers and views pages, then inspect how LaTeX output is assembled. Reproduce the export and check the generated file against the missing preamble and metadata described in the issue; done means both export types produce compilable standalone documents with metadata included.
