Export Subtree to LaTeX: no EXPORT_LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS ?

Export Subtree to LaTeX: no EXPORT_LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS ?

[Axel Kielhorn]

Hi,

I want to export a subtree with a columnview dynamic block in landscape orientation.
I don’t want just a rotated table, the whole page should be in landscape mode.
I may have to tweak the page layout using geometry as well,
thus I probably need EXPORT_LATEX_HEADER.

I’m using:
Org-mode version 8.3.3 (release_8.3.3-629-g635161 @ /Users/axel/src/Emacs/org-mode/lisp/)

with Emacs 24.5.

Did I overlook something or is it not possible to use a different LaTeX configuration to export a subtree?

If I use
#+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [landscape]
in the subtree it is used for the whole document as well.
The same happens when I us an #+INCLUDE file.

(Right now, I export to HTML and print from the browser.)

I think what you want to do is put the EXPORT_LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS (and
the TITLE) as a property in the property drawer, like this:

* Projektboard                                                     :noexport:
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [landscape]
:EXPORT_TITLE: Projektboard
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: Projektboard
:END:

That has the intended effect when I test it here, and my setup is
similar to yours.  In general, when you just want to affect the export
options of a subtree, you use properties, rather than keywords.

Best,
Richard

Indeed it works.
I’m quite sure that I tried that first, maybe I mistyped something.

Now I get exactly what I want.
Thanks for the quick reply.
