Dear Diego,
Gracias!
I slightly modified your solution.
I added the #+INCLUDE line to the end of #+LATEX_HEADER, because then it
will overwrite any previous \printanswers and \noprintanswers defined in
the HEADER.
#+TITLE:...
...
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{hyperref}
#+INCLUDE: ./latex-exam-printanswers-switch.org
I used the file name latex-exam-printanswers-switch.org, instead of
printanswers.org, because it gives a better indication of what it does.
I used your function as it was, except that I changed the function name
and updated the switch org file.
(defun org-latex-export-to-pdf-exam ()
(interactive)
(write-region "#+LATEX_HEADER: \\printanswers" nil
"latex-exam-printanswers-switch.org")
(org-latex-export-to-pdf)
(rename-file (org-export-output-file-name ".pdf")
(org-export-output-file-name "-with_answers.pdf"))
(write-region "" nil "latex-exam-printanswers-switch.org")
(org-latex-export-to-pdf)
)
It works very fine!
Have a nice Easter!
Yours sincerely,
Xianwen
