Hello Suvayu,

Thank you for your answer.

Following your proposal:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process
      '("/home/delexi/orgtest/pdflatex-escaped.sh %o %f"
        "/home/delexi/orgtest/pdflatex-escaped.sh %o %f"
        "/home/delexi/orgtest/pdflatex-escaped.sh %o %f"))
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw: Why is this a list of 3 identical tools/calls?

And pdflatex-escaped.sh:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/bash
#
pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory "$1" "$2"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sadly, this leads to the same problem, complaining about -shell-escape.

When I only produce the .tex file (C-c C-e l b) and then manually
execute the before mentioned bash script on it, the PDF is generated without
any complaints.

Albeit there are not errors when creating the PDF file, the desired
syntax coloring does not take place and the source code simply appears
in black verbatim(?).

Do you have any more ideas?

Regards,

Alex
