Hi,
I've decided to write my next research article using org's LaTeX
export. The first problem: the journal mandates one column for the
title/author heading and the abstract, while the remainder of the text
should be in two columns.
TeX FAQ recommends the following [1]:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
...
\begin{document}
... % \author, etc
\twocolumn[
\begin{@twocolumnfalse}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
\end{@twocolumnfalse}
]
I can get very near to that this way:
#+LaTeX: \twocolumn[ \begin{@twocolumnfalse} \maketitle
#+BEGIN_abstract
This is my abstract. This is my abstract.
This is my abstract. This is my abstract.
#+END_abstract
#+LaTeX: \end{@twocolumnfalse} ]
... followed by outline headings marking sections.
The problem is that the "org-latex-title-command" variable places
\maketitle before the \twocolumn[...] bit. I realize I can customize
the variable and make it an empty string, but I'm not sure I want this
to take effect for every document I export to LaTeX.
Is there a way to clear this variable that is local to the buffer?
