Conditional Inclusion

Conditional Inclusion

[Avdi Grimm]

I'm trying to produce two slightly different PDF versions from the
same document.

I want to be able to conditionally include a few LaTeX_HEADER lines
when I publish an Org file. I need to do it in a way I can control
from the command line when I run the export in batch mode. So I need
to either enable the lines with some eval-ed lisp on the emacs command
line, or with an environment variable.

Thoughts on the best way to go about this?

If you are doing it from batch mode, one non-org approach would be to have
the conditional headers in two different files (say header1.tex,
header2.tex) and depending which ones you wantt, you could copy them into a
file header.tex, which is then when exporting included in the document.

Non-org, but very flexible.

Cheers,

Rainer

or, if you want to do this from org, turn this around and have two main
org files, both of which #+include the one with all the common text?
then export the main file you want...

True. But for both scenarios, you can put all files into one main org file
and tangle the final files needed.

I would just use a symlink to the right header.
