Exporting LaTeX

Exporting LaTeX

[Charles Howard]

I am trying to implement a variation on what Russell Adams describes in

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2008-08/msg00044.html 

but I get the message 

>>>

An error has occurred while loading `/home/ogham/.emacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: org-export-latex-classes

<<<

on starting emacs. The only way I could get C^c C^e l to write my preamble commands to file.tex
was by inserting my block of code

>>>

directly into /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-export-latex.el 

Although this works for me, I'd still like to understand why the corresponding code into ~/.emacs did not work. 
Can someone tell me why this was so?

I'm using Orgmode 6.06b and emacs 22.1.1 on Ubuntu 7.10. 

Many thanks, Chas

I've heard of that guy! He's nothing but trouble!

Did you have the setq and cons around it? That appends the custom
values to the existing variable.

(setq org-export-latex-classes (cons '("aisarticle"
     "% BEGIN latex
	  % END latex
"
     ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
     ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
     ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
     ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
     ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}"))
 org-export-latex-classes))

Glad to see my experiments are coming in handy!

This problem seems to have been caused by a badly written .emacs file and by having the lisp files in two dirs. 

My thanks for the individual replies !
