Re: Bug: LaTeX block above first heading ignored by latex exporter [8.2.3c (release_8.2.3c-308-gc811bb @ /home/rob/sw/org-mode/lisp/)]

I now realise that the command to use is `org-latex-export-to-latex`.
However, my problem persists. This time, I use batch mode, to make
clear that the org-mode repository at /home/rob/sw/org-mode/ is being
used. This reflects HEAD from the git repo.

$ emacs -batch -L ~/sw/org-mode/lisp --visit=test.org -funcall
org-latex-export-to-latex
