Hi Lars, thank you for looking into this. On Fri, Aug 23 2019, Lars Ingebrigtsen wrote: > > Could you include the contents of this file? Sure. The file from which I reported, and which I include here now, was just a dummy file with the variable of interest set to true with `add-file-local-variable`: #+name: TargetFile.txt #+begin_example ;; Local Variables: ;; find-file-visit-truename: t ;; End: #+end_example (Also in annex) As I send you this now, I realize I should perhaps have chosen some other file format for the report, as text-mode does not have a predefined comment syntax. I don’t know if this is relevant to the local variables machinery. I suppose it isn’t, as my initial issue with this arose in Org files, for which the comment syntax is clear. But if some adjustments on the report for a more proper setting are somehow desired/relevant, let me know. Best regards, Gustavo.
