importing external files as LaTeX module

importing external files as LaTeX module

[Soichi Ishida]

Hi. I have recently started using org-mode.

I wanted to import external files into the outline like,

[[file:./external1.txt]]

org-mode created the hyperlink to the file.
Then I have exported it as a LaTeX file, which gives

\subsubsection{\href{file:///home/soichi/Dropbox/Org/external1.txt}{file:./external1.txt}}

But it does not compile the linked file as a part of dvi file (eventually a PDF file).  It only shows 

"file:./external.txt"

in PDF.  
Could I possibly import the content of the external file as a part of LaTeX?

maybe try the direct latex command, \input{external.txt}?
Unverified...  However, you won't want to do this on an outline
heading as latex won't like an input directive within a subsubsection
heading, I believe.

By creating a link, org-mode is doing exactly the right thing (\href etc).

Hi soichi,

Take a look at the #+INCLUDE: directive, in the manual at
http://orgmode.org/manual/Include-files.html#Include-files
it should be able to do what you need.

Best -- Eric
