Thanks for the suggestion, Dale. I think this is a very good idea, and I will try to make the changes to support local variables overriding the global settings. Maybe we can have a separate variable called org-export-docbook-stylesheet to make it easier to set in each file and flexible to use (in org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command, etc.). What do you think? >> The current org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command is a format string, >> with a fixed order of arguments (the fo filename and then the input >> docbook filname).

I thought about doing something similar to make the commands easier to set, but stopped pursuing that after seeing the format string style worked fine. I am not sure if any other Emacs modes/packages have done something like this, i.e. using (semi)named arguments. > Maybe we could have something like #+XSLT: or so to configure buffer- > local setting for this variable...... Thanks for the suggestion, Carsten! It's a little hard for me to decide which way is better to specify the stylesheet: "#+XSLT" or "Local Variables:". Maybe "#+XSLT" is better? I don't see many local variables being used in Org mode... Please advise. > About the format, this is for Baoqiu to decide. I'll do some research on this. :-) Thanks, Baoqiu _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
