Thanks a lot.
I don't know if I want to set org-latex-pdf-process _during_ or
_prior_ exporting. All I wanted to do is to _not_ set it in the emacs
init file, so as to be able to set a specific value depending on
whether I was going to use natbib or biblatex, without having to
restart emacs.
I tried doing something with what you suggest (using #+bind:), but
failed:
I put the following at the end of my org file (then visited the file
again):
# Local Variables:
# org-export-allow-bind-keywords: t
# End:
As I was not sure about the bind syntax for the complicated
org-latex-pdf-process variable, I tried this first test:
#+bind: org-latex-pdf-process "dummy"
# (I also tried without the quotes)
#+cite_export: natbib plainnat
#+bibliography: cite.bib
[cite:@chouet88]
And then 'C-c C-e l o'. There is no error but the generated pdf is
not correct, because (as mentioned some days ago)
org-latex-pdf-process does not have the proper value.
In other words, '#+bind:' does not work as expected.
(By contrast, if I use "my" method, using
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports results
(setq org-latex-pdf-process 'dummy)
#+end_src
then, after 'C-c C-e l o' I get "org-latex-compile: Wrong type
argument: sequencep, dummy".
)
This post
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/47474/setting-variable-for-org-mode-html-export
looked promising, but it also points to this one
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41964712/how-does-bind-really-works/42012392#42012392
which looks less so...
At any rate, and as I already said, all this business became
irrelevant for me once latexmk was installed: no need then to set
org-latex-pdf-process. This became only a matter of better
understanding some of the org intricacies.
Thank you again for your time.
