However, putting the "Local Variables" at the end of the file worked. In fact, I have always written local variables like this at the end of the file, although I don't remember if this was because of a restriction of just because I'm used to. A good tip is to put them inside a "* File Local Variables" heading so that they don't stay inside another heading. You can set the noexport tag to avoid exporting this heading. Also, you can use the function add-file-local-variable to add a new local variable. Notice how this function put the local variables at the end of the file. -- Darlan Cavalcante Moreira At Wed, 21 Sep 2011 20:29:25 +0200, Viktor Rosenfeld wrote: > > Hi, > > this works for simple files but breaks silently for my org files.
