* [new exporter] feature request: BEGIN_LATEX_HEADER

Prompted by Nicolas's recent addition of the LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA
directive, I would like to request another related feature.  Just as we
have the related LATEX and BEGIN_LATEX directives, I would like to see a
BEGIN_LATEX_HEADER directive for multi-line LATEX_HEADER lines:

#+begin_src org
#+BEGIN_LATEX_HEADER
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[british]{babel}
\newcommand{\esf}[1]{\footnote{#1}\marginpar{\fbox{\thefootnote}}
#+END_LATEX_HEADER
#+end_src

(example taken from a recent org file).

Not urgent, of course, but it would make it easier to write this type of
content, especially if it were fontified as well... ;-)

Thanks,
eric

There are already many ways to handle latex header. `org-latex-classes',
setupfile keywords, include keywords, latex_header,
latex_header_extra...

Adding one more is not without consequences. For example, where should
it go? After latex_header values? Before? Would the location be
configurable in `org-latex-classes'? What placeholder to use?

I admit I'm not very keen on this idea. Not because of the coding work,
it would be around 10 loc, but because of syntax fester.

You could have a LaTeX block and tangle it to preamble.tex and input
preamble.tex in a LATEX_HEADER.

I wasn't proposing anything different other than allowing one to group a
whole set of #+latex_header lines into a single begin/end block, akin to
what #+begin_latex allows.  Just a minor convenience feature.

Okay, no worries.  Thanks for considering it.

Speaking of syntax, having long blocks of #+GRMLLL_SOMETHING: lines is
somewhat of an eyesore, but instead of inventing yet another type of
block, what about allowing implicit naming of keywords:

#+LaTeX_header: %
#+: \newcommand{\Wal}{\operatorname{Wal}}
#+: \newcommand{\Cal}{\operatorname{Cal}}
#+: \newcommand{\Sal}{\operatorname{Sal}}
#+: \newcommand{\sgn}{\operatorname{sgn}}


Regards,
Achim.
