Question

I have a shell script which exports several org files to latex; an example command is shown below:

emacs --batch \
--visit=file.org --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch 

The first few lines of file.org are

#+TITLE: Titlename
#+INCLUDE: ./preamble.org

preamble.org has the following lines:

#+AUTHOR:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{fullpage}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{parskip}

For some reason, preamble.org is not loaded when I execute in batch mode. It loads fine when I open the buffer and execute M-x org-export-as-latex. Any ideas what I need to do to have preamble.org load in batch mode?

Answer 1

This line

#+INCLUDE: ./preamble.org

doesn’t work for me in both cases: manually and batch mode. I use

#+SETUPFILE: ./preamble.org

instead, and it works in batch mode too.
