Hi, I am an org-mode newbie and trying to learn how to export to latex and html from the command line, and have encountered a difficulty when I include a custom class in the latex header. Here's a sample file ("test-file.org") I'm using:
*** #+TITLE: Test #+LaTeX_CLASS: apa file contents *** and here is the command I'm using: /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs -batch \ --visit=test-file.org \ --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch which gives me the output OVERVIEW Exporting to LaTeX... No definition for class `apa' in `org-export-latex-classes' and no .tex file output. From within Aquamacs, I don't get this error, presumably because I have the following in my .emacs file: (add-to-list 'org-export-latex-classes '("apa" "\\documentclass{apa} [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \\usepackage{graphicx} \\usepackage{apacite}" ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}") ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}") ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}") )) How can I make this modification of org-export-latex-classes from the command line? I have tried putting the above content in a file ("$HOME/tmp/add.el") and making the call /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs -batch \ --load $HOME/tmp/add.el \ --visit=test-file.org \ --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch but this gives me the error Symbol's value as variable is void: org-export-latex-classes I would be very grateful for any suggestions! This is GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (Aquamacs 2.2) and Org mode 7.5. Incidentally, trying to export to HTML with /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs -batch \ --visit=test-file.org \ --funcall org-export-as-html-batch complains differently: OVERVIEW Exporting... File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "html-helper-mode") Exporting... Exporting... File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "html-helper-mode") Saving file /tmp/test-file.html... Wrote /tmp/test-file.html HTML export done, pushed to kill ring and clipboard but it actually does produce a sensible html file. Many thanks in advance for patience with my newbie question. Best Roger
