First time poster on this list, but old-school Emacs user since 1982. And I have to say, org-mode is amazing. I'm running current git master on emacs 24.0.50.1 on Windows. I've put all my org-mode export template stuff into a setup file in my home dir, and I make all my org-mode files use it by putting #+SETUPFILE: ~/my-setup.org My question is can I make this totally automatic, so every .org file I load gets that setupfile automatically? btw, here's my settings in my setup file in case anyone's interested. Mostly export stuff for HTML and LaTeX so the output comes out nice. ## Emacs org-mode settings. Include into a .org file at the end like this: ## #+SETUPFILE: ~/emacs-org-mode-setup.org #+AUTHOR: me #+EMAIL: garyo@example.org #+DATE: #+DESCRIPTION: #+KEYWORDS: #+LANGUAGE: en #+OPTIONS: H:2 num:nil toc:nil \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:t -:t f:t *:t <:t author:nil email:nil creator:nil timestamp:nil #+OPTIONS: TeX:t LaTeX:auto skip:nil d:nil todo:t pri:nil tags:not-in-toc #+INFOJS_OPT: view:nil toc:nil ltoc:t mouse:underline buttons:0 path: http://orgmode.org/org-info.js #+EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS: export #+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport #+LINK_UP: #+LINK_HOME: # Page formatting, use full page w/ less whitespace: #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[cm]{fullpage} #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[compact]{titlesec} # Snug up lists: #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{paralist} #+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\itemize\compactitem #+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\description\compactdesc #+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\enumerate\compactenum # Colors: #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{color} -- -- Gary
