Hi Steve,

the examples are indeed out-dated.

1) 'backend is now
   'org-export-current-backend (though I am not sure, I think there was
   also 'latexp at some time).
2) If the latex block is evaluated at all and a file argument is
   present, this will be used.  So the block meant to go the latex->PDF
   route should not contain the :file argument.
3) Even if ":results graphics" or ":results file" is specified, the
   results of a latex block seem to be wrapped in
   #+begin_latex...#+end_latex.  So for the block meant to go to the
   html, one way is to specify ":results org".  But here I get a
   spurious ORG-ORG-START ...

Anyway, besides that ORG-ORG-START thing, this seems to work on my side:

,----
| * Tikz test
|   #+name: contents
|   #+begin_src latex :exports (if (and (boundp 'org-export-current-backend) (eq org-export-current-backend 'latex)) "results" "none") :results latex
|     \begin{tikzpicture}
|       \node[red!50!black] (a) {A};
|       \node (b) [right of=a] {B};
|       \draw[->] (a) -- (b);
|     \end{tikzpicture}
|   #+end_src
| 
|   #+begin_src latex :exports (if (and (boundp 'org-export-current-backend) (eq org-export-current-backend 'latex)) "none" "results") :results file :file test.png :imagemagick yes :iminoptions -density 600 :imoutoptions -geometry 400 :fit yes :noweb yes :headers '("\\usepackage{tikz}")
|     <<contents>>
|   #+end_src
`----

Regards,
Andreas
