Because elisp evaluation is available for header argument *values*, not for the entire header argument line. Instead you could do the following, or just use the example in my previous email which sets :imagemagick in all cases. #+header: :imagemagick (by-backend ((html pdf) 'nil) (t "yes")) Cheers, -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte
