Re: [O] a4paper to execute latex src block

[David Belohrad]

Fiddling a bit more I have achieved it, but it is solution for all src
blocks. By redefining variable org-format-latex-header:

(setq org-format-latex-header "\\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\\usepackage{amsmath}
\\usepackage[mathscr]{eucal}
\\usepackage{tikz}
\\pagestyle{empty}
\[PACKAGES]
\[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
")

So I have removed settings which I don't need, and I ordered it to
obligatory use a4paper and 12pt, which I use anyways. 

Still, how could I change this locally is not clear to me...

.d.
