Re: Org-mode execute functions upon opening and closing

[John Kitchin <johnrkitchin@gmail.com>]

* Load lisp code on opening an org-file

Put this at the end of your org-file:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
### Local Variables:
### mode: org
### eval: (load-file "my-lib.el")
### End:
#+END_EXAMPLE

Create my-lib.el, e.g.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle my-lisp.el
(message-box "Loaded!")
#+END_SRC

The next time you open this file, you will be prompted whether to eval
the local variable. Type y to approve it once, or ! to approve it
forever. You can put whatever you want in this library.

### Local Variables:
### mode: org
### eval: (load-file "my-lib.el")
### End:
