Remove \maketitle from scrlttr2 latex export

Remove \maketitle from scrlttr2 latex export

[Peter de Jong]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 743 bytes --]

Hi,

Since a few days i use the scrlttr2 org-mode implementation of
Jambunathan. His work was posted in this list:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-09/msg01264.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-09/msg01266.html

His 4 .el files are placed in ~/emacs/contrib/scrlttr2 and are loaded
in _emacs (commented out my own configuration).
I then start emacs, open brief.scrlttr2, Ctrl-c Ctrl-e d opens the
attached pdf file. I included the intermediate brief.tex.

As the pdf shows, there is a for the most blank first page with "none"
from the \maketitle statement. Whatever i do, this statement keeps
getting generated.

How can I remove this?

With kind regards and much thanks in advance,

Peter de Jong

From my end, I am seeing that \maketitle is no longer produced. Did you
revert the org/scrlttr2 file after adding the following line?

,----
| #+BIND: org-export-latex-title-command ""
`----

As an alternative you can also do a C-c C-c on the above line and you
will find yourself being questioned with:

,----
| Allow BIND values in this buffer? (y or n)  y
`----

The generation of above query is controlled by the following variable 

,----[ C-h v org-export-allow-BIND RET ]
| org-export-allow-BIND is a variable defined in `org-exp.el'.
| Its value is confirm
| 
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means allow #+BIND to define local variable values for export.
| This is a potential security risk, which is why the user must confirm the
| use of these lines.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| [back]
`----

You may also want to check that variable.


On export to scrlttr2, Org creates a "*Org PDF LaTeX Output*" buffer
that contains some errors [1].  Inspite of this a pdf file is
produced. The errors are because of extra newlines in \encl and \closing
commands. The attached "patch" to org-latex.el removes this extra
newline. If there is some interest from maintainer's side I can create a
formal patch for org-latex.el[2].

As a side note, if the "to" section of the scrlttr2 file contains a bbdb
link as below

,----
| ** to
|    [[bbdb:Richard%20Stallman][bbdb:Richard Stallman]]
`----


and you have BBDB entry with the address for the above person as shown
below

,----
| Richard Stallman - Free Software Foundation
|          Office: 51 Franklin St
| 		 Boston, MA  02110
| 		 US
|             net: rms@gnu.org
`----


then org-scrlttr2 is intelligent enough to expand the snail mail address
automagically.

[2] scrlttr2 is a hack. Nevertheless a clean patch can be applied to
org-latex.el by moving the "\n" to the sectioning options of
org-export-latex-classes.

Re: Remove \maketitle from scrlttr2 latex export

[Peter de Jong]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5369 bytes --]

Perhaps this is indeed a latex issue related to the scrlttr2 class.
I have reverted back to Jambu's original .scrlttr2 file, added the
BIND, changed [jambu] to [pdj] for the LCO, removed the *encl section.
I also applied the patch to org-latex.el.

No maketitle appears in the .tex, but from the commandline i also have errors:
/----
| (c:\Users\pjo16137\Dropbox\Organizer\export\brief.aux)
| ("C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX\tex\latex\base\ts1cmr.fd")
| ! Undefined control sequence.
| \select@language ... \@empty }\languageshorthands
|                                                   {none}\babel@beginsave \cs..
| l.24 \begin{document}
|
| ?
\----

Maybe this error results in the blank first page with "none".

This issue has not much to do anymore with org-mode, I'll try to find
some Latex help.

Thanx Jambu for the help.

You can add the #+BIND line to the following variable.

,----[ C-h v org-latex-generic-scrlttr2-setup RET ]
| org-latex-generic-scrlttr2-setup is a variable defined in `org-scrlttr2.el'.
| Its value is
| "\n#+LaTeX_CLASS: scrlttr2\n#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [DIN]\n#+OPTIONS: toc:nil\n"
| 
| Documentation:
| Meta lines for scrlttr2 class. Plug in your LCO file.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

I am using MikTex as well. With following changes your brief.tex, the
file compiles fine for me and things are OK (I see NO "none" page)

,----
| Replace \documentclass[pdj]{scrlttr2} with \documentclass[jambu]{scrlttr2}
| 
| Remove the following packages (which I don't have installed )
| \usepackage{marvosym}
| \usepackage{wasysym}
| \usepackage{latexsym}
`----

I am pretty sure that "none" page has something to do with your pdj.lco
file or how you have installed the scrlttr2 class.

FWIW, my lco file begins with the following lines followed by lots of
komavars. 

,----
| \ProvidesFile{jambu}[10 letter-class-option]
| 
| \usepackage{times} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
| \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
| \usepackage[english]{babel} 
| \usepackage{url}
| 
| \LoadLetterOption{DIN}
`----

ISTM (and I am not latex user in even remote sense of the word)
including babel package with appropriate langauge would set the things
right for you. Also I am using the "D1N" as the base LCO file. You may
also want to check the base LCO file picked by your setup.

Adding [dutch]{babel} package to the LCO file fixed the issue. I'm
very pleased with the result!

Thank you again.
