I am attempting again to write a latex document with org-mode. The org-mode part is no problem, but the latex part is awkward. This is the first few line of my org-mode document - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+TITLE: The history of custard pies. #+AUTHOR: Sharon Kimble #+EMAIL: boudiccas@skimble.plus.com #+DATE: 01-04-2015 #+LATEX: \usepackage{~/texmf/tex/latex/commonstuff/mysty} # #+Latex_Class: mysty #+DESCRIPTION: #+KEYWORDS: #+LANGUAGE: en * Blargh --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The latex file "mysty" is actually "mysty.sty" and contains all the latex files that I want to use, but it doesn't appear to be loading, and I can't see why? My idea of having *all* the latex packages in one file is so that I hope to be able to have it in its own directory and then symlink it to each projects main org-mode file so that I would have a known working setup, right from the start! The first few lines of "mysty.sty" are --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e} \ProvidesClass{mysty}[31-03-2015] \RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag} \RequirePackage{fixltx2e} \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} % \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book} % \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report} % \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{memoir} NO % \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrbook} %%\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrreprt} \usepackage{morewrites} \usepackage{tocloft} \usepackage[stretch=10]{microtype} \setlength\parindent{0pt} % sets indent to zero \setlength{\parskip}{5pt} % changes vertical space between paragraphs \setcounter{tocdepth}{1} --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Any ideas please?
