I am trying to pass a variable value to a latex source code block:
* Letter.
:PROPERTIES:
:first_name: Ian
:last_name: Barton
:END:
#+begin_src latex var: last_name =(org-get-entry nil "last_name")
#+end_src
However, it appears as though it's only supported for lisp. Any
suggestions as how to do this?
I am trying to construct a business letter template using the KOMA
scrlttrs class. I have got the letter looking the way I want it in tex.
I propose to use babel to produce the tex, but need a way to pass
variables stored in my org file to the various komavar.
I have tried org-koma-letter.el, which isn't quite flexible enough for
my needs. I know there have been several postings in the list about
using KOMA. If anyone is interested I found this
http://stefano.italians.nl/archives/55 site a great help in getting my
design the way I wanted it.
Ian.

Looks like you're the victim of two small typos.
The following works for me.

* Letter.
:PROPERTIES:

:last_name: Barton
:END:
#+begin_src latex :var last_name=(org-entry-get nil "last_name")
My last name is last_name.
#+end_src
