I think you are looking for `org-export-latex-classes'.

 This already seems strange because when I go to org-customize in emacs
 what I see in Org Format Latex Header, in lisp is

`org-format-latex-header' is for processing LaTeX fragments, that's why
it's in org.el rather than in org-latex.el.   For LaTeX export options,
better check the Org LaTeX group in customize:

M-x customize-group RET org-latex RET

HTH,

[Orgmode] Customizing LaTeX export (Org Format Latex Header)

2009-08-09 Thread Charles Howard 
Hi. I'm still failing to understand how to customize latex export.

I've set up a new clean install of Debian 5.02 with emacs 22.2 and
org-mode 6.27a
(the version for testing). Org-mode was installed using synaptic.

With no header lines in the .org file the latex preamble is

% Created 2009-08-07 Fri 21:53
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{hyperref}

This already seems strange because when I go to org-customize in emacs
what I see
in Org Format Latex Header, in lisp is

\\documentclass{article}\n\\usepackage{fullpage}         % do not
remove\n\\usepackage{amssymb}\n\\usepackage[usenames]{color}\n\\usepackage{amsmath}\n\\usepackage{latexsym}\n\\usepackage[mathscr]{eucal}\n\\pagestyle{empty}
            % do not remove

which doesn't correspond to the actual preamble. Anyway I added some
lines to change a
couple of features, as follows:

\\documentclass{article}\n\\usepackage{fullpage}         % do not
remove\n\\usepackage{amssymb}\n\\usepackage[usenames]{color}\n\\usepackage{amsmath}\n\\usepackage{latexsym}\n\\usepackage[mathscr]{eucal}\n\\pagestyle{empty}
            % do not
remove\n\\setlength{\\parindent}{0mm}\n\\setlength{\\parskip}{2mm}\n\\setlength{\\textwidth}{15cm}\n\\setlength{\\textheight}{23cm}

and this had no effect on the exported tex file. (I do set and save.)

I don't want to write a new class file for LaTeX. I just want to be
able to add a couple
of dozen setlength and (re)newcommand lines (as well as usepackage
lines) to every LaTeX
export. I did experiment briefly with using per-file export settings,
but this didn't
work for me either.

I expect I'm missing something obvious. Pointer would be much appreciated.

Chas
