I like both ideas. If I had to choose, perhaps I would prefer Ihor's approach since it separates the formatting value and the metadata value using simple keywords. I understand that in the former you could add any direct format (LaTeX, odt, html...), macros and even footnotes. And if the former is not explicitly included in the document, then the latter is used to populate both the formatting value and the metadata value. Anyway, I think your approach would work very well for more complex pdf metadata like xmp. Maybe using the hyperxmp package, which you mentioned in a thread months ago? Maybe something like this: #+latex_xmp ... #+end ? Best regards, Juan Manuel
