[O] Buffer-local override of org-latex-title-command?

2013-04-29 Thread James Harkins
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?

Does an empty #+TITLE: do what you want?

No, because I do need the title, but inside the \twocolumn part. I wouldn't
be able to submit the manuscript with no title.

If you use asynchronous export you can put this in the init.el
initialization file:

(setq org-latex-title-command )

Try:

  #+BIND: org-latex-title-command 

This assumes `org-export-allow-bind-keywords' is non-nil.

I couldn't find a reference to this variable in the manual.  I'd suggest
replacing the word `Eventually' with the clause before the first comma
in the paragraph below, or something like it.

  If the variable `org-export-allow-bind-keywords' is non-nil, Emacs
  variables can become buffer-local during export by using the BIND
  keyword. Its syntax is `#+BIND: variable value'. This is particularly
  useful for in-buffer settings that cannot be changed using specific
  keywords.

All the best,
Tom

Oh, ok, I thought I'd tried something like that but I guess I didn't get
all the moving parts in the right place. Thanks!
