first #+LATEX_HEADER: in SETUPFILE not correctly exported and causes Missing \begin{document} error

first #+LATEX_HEADER: in SETUPFILE not correctly exported and causes Missing \begin{document} error

[Charles Millar]

I have a #+SETUPFILE which starts as follows

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{lastpage}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{scrpage2}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \pagestyle{scrheadings}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setkomafont{pagefoot}{\normalfont\rmfamily}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \ifoot{foobar}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \cfoot[\pagemark]{\hspace{1.0in} Page \thepage\ of 
\pageref{LastPage}}
#+OPTIONS: H:5
#+LATEX_CLASS: mysetup

"mysetup" class is

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
              '("mysetup"

I do obtain the expected pdf output except that an extra page is added 
to the very beginning of the document. Investigating and running the 
output.tex file in TeXStudio throws an error  - Missing \begin{document} 
(Same result also typeset in TeXWorks is run)

Investigating the output.tex shows the following - please note how 
\usepackage{lastpage} is misaligned

If I edit the output.tex file in TeXStudio by moving the 
\usepackage{lastpage} all the way to the left margin both problems are 
fixed, i.e. when I run build and view in TeXStudio there is no "Missing 
\begin{document}" error and there is no extra page is created at at the 
beginning of the document.

So, is my SETUPFILE not correct or is there a problem with the exporter 
in that extra spaces are added to the first line of the SETUPFILE upon 
export or  do I have incompatible packages, etc.?

The problem is this line.  The proper syntax is

\newcommand{\foo}{bar}

Thanks for the correction. I escaped the \foo otherwise I had a spurious 
"oobar" at the beginning of the exported document so that my latex class 
has

\newcommand{\\foo}{bar}

I suspect that this problem may be file specific. I exported another 
file, using the same SETUPFILE and had no problems

It may have "worked" but the odds are that you were simply
lucky.  \newcommand expects two {} arguments, the first being the name
of the command and the second the actual sequence to execute.

I was not clear - I ran the exports after I made the correction to 
"mysetup", i.e. \newcommand{\\foo}{bar}

One file or document exported as I expected; the other file or document 
did not, i.e. still had the extra first page and Missing 
\begin{document} error.
Both documents use a SETUPFILE with identical series of #+LATEX_HEADER:

I do agree that the one file that exports as desired must be a result of 
luck. I compared the output.tex file for each document. In each the 
first \usepackage{foo} which is inserted from the SETUPFILE is indented 
several tabs or spaces to the right and not aligned to the left margin.

Moving that one line to the left margin using e.g. TeXstudo fixes the 
problem.

BTW, I also changed the first #+LATEX_HEADER:  \usepackage{foo} line is 
SETUPFILE to other entries and the same problem, so I don't believe that 
the problem is LaTeX specific. (I also used #+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA)

What is causing the first LATEX_HEADER:  to indent and therefore causing 
a blank page and missing \begin{document} error?

but I am confused: why the \\ for foo but \ for newcommand?  What is the
actual result in the output.tex file?

The indentation or not itself is not the issue but only a symptom of an
error before that line, in my opinion.

My typo. Just in case I attach a copy of the "mysetup class" which I 
believe is now correct and which i have been using since your original 
response where you pointed out that \\newcommand, etc. was incorrect . I 
have used this as the latex class for all subsequent messages in this 
thread.

I place the cursor just before \usepackage{lastpage} and backspace once, 
the file builds without the extra page, etc.

Is there a proper location for the #+SETUPFILE: line in the main org file?

As we agreed my first successful export was lucky, so I revised that 
file template from which I was exporting - the extra first page and the 
missing\begin{document} do not seem to be a problem now.

However, the LATEX_HEADER: still is placed several spaces to the left,

first few lines from the file.tex

I have also placed the LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{lastline} directly in 
the file to be exported, i.e. not relying on a SETUPFILE: and the 
\usepackage, etc. is also placed to the left. Perhaps this is a bug or 
is it expected?

Anyway, thanks Eric for your comments and to everyone else who has read 
this thread.

So everything is fine other than the placement of the LaTeX header line?

In terms of the placement, I have no idea what causes this.  I don't
often look at the LaTeX the org exporter creates so cannot say whether
this is normal or not.  The extra whitespace should not affect LaTeX in
any case.

Your template includes indentation before "[EXTRA]". This indentation
appears in the output, in this case, before the first LATEX_HEADER
directive.
