latex-export custom header?

[renato]

Hi, I'm really enjoying the org-mode + cdlatex combo. One question
though, how can I customize the latex header produced by
org-export-as-latex ? I really need to add some \newcommand and
\newtheorem statements. 

best wishes,
renato

A quick answer. Many, in fact.

Common solutions are:

- put your extra stuff in an external .org file, and insert it wherever you
  want via SETUPFILE

- make a new LaTeX class file, and customize Org (`org-export-latex-classes')
  to use that one, instead of the default one.

Best regards,
  Seb

On a per file basis, you can add extra lines to your LaTeX export
header by using "#+LATEX_HEADER: ".

(See: http://orgmode.org/org.html#Export-options)

To get your custom commands also to work with the preview of LaTeX
fragments, you may customise the "org-format-latex-header" variable.

Actually I don't know if there is a way to add something to
"org-format-latex-header" on a per-file basis... Is there?

Cheers,
Manuel
