Re: Using Book class without 'parts' for Org-mode Export

[Tim Cross <theophilusx@gmail.com>]

also, if you get frustrated by the number of latex_header option lines
you need to add to each file, you can define a new custom entry in
org-latex-classes which contains all those lines. I have a custom one
which has all the latex stuff to set my work logo and a few other latex
'tweaks' to match my employer's document guidelines. To get all these
settings, I just need to add a latex_class option referencing my
definition in org-latex-classes.

BTW I think you are probably better off using latex_header_extra for
some of those definitions. In the past, I've run into problems because
things don't get loaded in the right order - using latex_header_extra
will usually ensure your additional custom settings come after the base
latex_header settings which often load things you may need in your
custom stuff.
