Interesting. I did not know about #+BIND, but just today I came about the issue where I needed file-local variables to be available both in the org-export-before-parsing-hook and in macro expansion. I circumvented the problem by picking the original buffer out of `buffer-list' and temporaryly switching to that buffer with `with-current-buffer'. Now I wonder whether #+BIND is more elegant. But my macro expansion function modifies a buffer-local variable. Does #+BIND allow for that, so that the changed value is available in the original org buffer? -quintus -- Dipl.-Jur. M.
