Re: [O] latex markup in org?

[John Kitchin]

Maybe you can include the sty file as a code block that will be tangled before export. You should put that block in a section tagged no-export. Depending on your setup, you may need to make a code block to build your latex file and/or pdf to make sure the tangling happens.

at the top keep this
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{filestyle}

and in the last section do this

* build :noexport:

#+begin_src text :tangle filestyle.sty

latex code for style

#+end_src

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

(org-babel-tangle)

(save-buffer)

(org-latex-export-to-pdf)

#+end_src

and finally put your cursor in the last block, and type C-c C-c. that should do what you want.

I've been learning to export from org to latex (to pdf), and have had
great success. There's a simplification to the process I'd like to make,
though, if it's possible.

Right now I use files: file.org and filestyle.sty. The .sty gives
the latex-specific instruction, and I point to it from file.org with a
line of #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{filestyle}. This works great, but
I'd love to have just one file, not two, to keep things simple.

So I tried putting the contents of filestyle.sty near the top of file.org
inside of #+BEGIN_latex and #+END_latex, but it doesn't quite work. It
incompletely works, which is perplexing...

I'd appreciate any ideas about this--can it be done?

Thank you!
