worg latex example "11 Styling the Frontmatter"

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 738 bytes --]

Hi,

I am trying to get a custom title page and abstract before the TOC in a
pdf.

Worg has an example on this page:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html

at the section titled "11 Styling the Frontmatter"
However, the example doesn't work for me as expected.

To reproduce:

+ save the attached files (testAbs.org, title.tex) in the same directory
+ open testAbs.org and do "C-c e d" to export to pdf

I would expect the Abstract and text to be shown in the final pdf but it
is absent.

If I put a character between the lines #+LATEX_HEADER
and #+BEGIN_abstract then the abstract title and text are shown as
expected.

The above is using release_7.8.03-566-gf8efc63.  Am I doing something
wrong?

Thanks,

Myles

You have commented out the closing brace in title.tex. It should be

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\renewcommand\maketitle{\begin{titlepage}%
FOO
\end{titlepage}%
}

Aloha Myles,

Your example works for me with emacs -q.  I had to change the \input{}
command to \input{title}, since I'm not working at /home/myles.  I saved
the tex file to title.tex, put it in the same directory as the org file,
evaluated the source block (with :results silent), and exported.  I got
a 2 page pdf with FOO on the first page and a second page with all the
rest.

I'm not sure what is going wrong at your end, but suspect the \input{}
command might not be picking up your .tex file.  Do you see something in
the .log file produced by LaTeX?

All the best,
Tom

Tom,

Thanks very much for checking it.  It does pick up the title.tex file
and I don't get a log file but the testAbs.tex file (see below) shows
that the abstract title is missing and the abstract text is entered as
the \title{}.

If I start emacs -q then execute this block, it seems to report that
orgmode is a mixture of version 7.7 and 7.8.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
(add-to-list 'load-path
	     "~/.emacs.d/plugins/org-mode/lisp")
(require 'org-install)
(org-version)
#+END_SRC

#+results:
: Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.8.03.566.gf8efc)

Does that look normal?  Exporting as before then gives the file below.

Myles

Thanks for noticing that, I have changed it and still get the strange
behaviour described in my previous post.

Any other ideas?

Re: worg latex example "11 Styling the Frontmatter"

[Thomas S. Dye]

Hi Myles,

Thanks for making me look more closely at this.  There are two things:

1) #+BEGIN_abstract ... #+END_abstract requires org-special-blocks.  So,

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none :results silent
(require 'org-special-blocks)
(defun org-export-latex-no-toc (depth)  
    (when depth
      (format "%% Org-mode is exporting headings to %s levels.\n"
              depth)))
  (setq org-export-latex-format-toc-function 'org-export-latex-no-toc)
#+END_SRC

2) The abstract text ends up in the title because there is no export
option template at the top of your org file.  With point at the start of
the buffer, C-c C-e t.

Then, if you export to LaTeX or pdf, all should be well.

I don't know about the two org versions, but have seen posts to the list
where odd behavior was caused by old installations lurking where the
newer one could see.  Have you switched installation methods in the last
year or so?  From what I'm able to understand, that is sometimes the
culprit.

hth,
Tom
