I am trying to implement a variation on what Russell Adams describes in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2008-08/msg00044.html
but I get the message >>> An error has occurred while loading `/home/ogham/.emacs': Symbol's value as variable is void: org-export-latex-classes <<< on starting emacs. The only way I could get C^c C^e l to write my preamble commands to file.tex was by inserting my block of code >>> ("myarticle" "\\documentclass[11pt]{article} \\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \\usepackage{hyperref} \\setlength{\\textwidth}{16cm} \\setlength{\\textheight}{23cm} \\setlength{\\voffset}{-1cm} \\setlength{\\hoffset}{-1.5cm} \\setlength{\\parindent}{0cm} \\addtolength{\\parskip}{2mm} \\usepackage{titlesec} \\titleformat{\\section}[block]{\\bfseries}{\\S\\,\\thesection\\enspace}{.5em}{} \\titleformat{\\subsection}[block]{\\mdseries}{\\thesubsection\\enspace}{.3em}{} \\titleformat{\\subsubsection}[block]{\\mdseries}{{\\footnotesize\\thesubsubsection\\enspace}}{.1em}{\\footnotesize}" ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}") ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}") ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}") ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}") ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")) <<< directly into /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-export-latex.el Although this works for me, I'd still like to understand why the corresponding code into ~/.emacs did not work. Can someone tell me why this was so? I'm using Orgmode 6.06b and emacs 22.1.1 on Ubuntu 7.10.
