Is there some rule about what happens when emacs sees two local variable blocks in a file? It seems that the first one is enforced and the second ignored: the above works in the given order of the two blocks, but not if the order is reversed. In any case, another solution along the same lines is as follows: local variables are only recognized in the last "page" of the file so just add a Control-L at the end of the org file: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ... #+BEGIN_COMMENT Insert a control-L here to prevent emacs from interpreting the local variables block above - local variables blocks are recognized only on the last "page" of the file. #+END_COMMENT --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- Nick
