Some thoughts: 1. Is it possible to set filters as buffer local? Okay the help string says: "This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.", so I guess the answer is no. 2. Otherwise you could have used a lisp source block in the buffer. You could still do that, just add a conditional that checks for the buffer name. This way modifying a global filter would still affect current buffer export. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
