latex markup in org?

latex markup in org?

[Steven Arntson]

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!
Steven

Hello Steven,

LaTeX .sty files are special. They are not meant to be included in a
.tex file. See
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/91167/why-use-sty-files for
more information.

I'm sure it can, but not that way!

As I understand it, blocks like this ....

#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\marginpar{\color{red} \tiny \raggedright
\vspace{18pt}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam
nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat
volutpat.}
#+END_LaTeX

work where they are and not file-wide.

For file-wide instructions you need to put 'em in 

#+LATEX_HEADER lines.

Exactly how to do that will depend on the precise contents of
filestyle.sty.

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.

Thanks for this--great idea. I'll give it a try.
