Dear Ihor,

Well I'm tempted to say all of them because I have local variables in
files and .dir-locals.el in many locations. But for a start:

# Local Variables:
# eval: (setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)
# eval: (setq org-adapt-indentation t)
# eval: (set (make-local-variable 'org-hide-emphasis-markers) t)
# End:

I am obviously missing something because I thought a local variable was
by definition local to a file or directory and was not used until that
file was opened. So why put them in effect before they are needed?

Best wishes.
