Thanks for this information. I still have a long way to go before I can
use org-mode for LaTeX export.
First, I don't know emacs lisp. I've been planning to learn it, but
finding the time is difficult and I'm not a professional programmer.
Second, the customizations I use for LaTeX vary widely between files. My
understanding of your code, please correct me if I'm wrong, is that if I
have multiple header files for different types of documents, then I must
change my .emacs each time I want to change headers. This doesn't seem
to be very convenient to me. I suppose it is possible to write some code
to take care of multiple header files, but what if one has a brand new
header file?
Please understand that I haven't really explored the LaTeX export
features of org-mode very thoroughly. However, my impression is that the
LaTeX export capabilities of org-mode are somewhat limited at this time.
This isn't a bad thing. I don't think org-mode was designed to be a
replacement for something like AUCTeX. Anyway, org-mode is works well
for me for non-LaTeX tasks, so I'll continue to rely on it.
