Subject: RFC: Consistent Latex (& html) publishing environment
Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 16:50:57 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101118225057.GB3139@x201> (raw)
I've had difficulties creating a consistent publishing environment,
specifically for latex. I was curious how others did their workflow,
or any recommendations the group may have.
My latex documents are only of minor complexity, including images and
the occasional multiple column area, a header and footer. I'm not a
Latex expert, but I know enough to tweak my documents to match my expectations.
I have tried using the customizable article types
(org-export-latex-classes) to provide consistent pre-document latex
header segments. Unfortunately I found I need to customize those
frequently.
Recently I have started using an article type of "none", which is an
empty definition. Then I have manually specified each line in a
#+LATEX_HEADER line at the beginning of the file. This works great for
a single document, but then multiple documents begin to diverge. Then
I have to go find the latest document I've created to use as a
template, a non-optimal situation.
One technique I have used successfully is to use a Makefile to cause
my org documents to be compiled to latex, calling out to emacs and
then pdflatex (twice for proper TOC) from there.

.PHONY: all clean
#OBJS := $(patsubst %.org, %.pdf, $(wildcard *.org))
OBJS := Target.pdf
CRAP := $(patsubst %.org, %.pdf, $(wildcard *.org))
CRAP += $(patsubst %.org, %.aux, $(wildcard *.org))
CRAP += $(patsubst %.org, %.log, $(wildcard *.org))
CRAP += $(patsubst %.org, %.out, $(wildcard *.org))
CRAP += $(patsubst %.org, %.toc, $(wildcard *.org))
all: clean $(OBJS)
clean:
rm -f $(CRAP) $(OBJS)
%.tex: %.org
/usr/bin/emacs -nw \
--eval '(setq enable-local-variables :all)' \
$< \
-f org-export-as-latex \
-f save-buffers-kill-emacs
%.pdf: %.tex
pdflatex $<
pdflatex $<
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is great, but pops up an emacs session. If I run emacs in --batch
mode, it won't load my init file and so loses some of my export
customizations...
So, what are other folks using? Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks.
