I don't think you do. I build my org-latex-classes with add-to-list, so an
example of mine is:

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
 '("MikeMcLean"
   "\\documentclass{MikeMcLean}
 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
 [PACKAGES]
 [EXTRA]
 "
   ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
   ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
   ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
   ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
   ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
   ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))

The MikeMcLean document class (all of my 3-4 main classes, really) are a
moderate wrapper around the memoir class. A document I produce for myself
looks different than one that I produce as part of my employment or
volunteer effort(s), even though I produce them all from Org.

- Sets some class options
- Requires some packages I use a lot (minted, e.g.)
- Defines some fonts and colors.
- Sets page options (footers, chapter headers, sectioning, etc.)
- Defines a title page

Yes, the preamble as one string, no extra linefeeds, and no quoted
function calls ... I figured that out by trial-and-error already, but
thanks for you tips anyway!

For your example to work, you'd have to replace the quote (') by
a backquote (`) so that the `concat' can be executed...

Working example:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
 '("koma-article"
   "\\documentclass{scrartcl}
   [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
   [EXTRA]"

   ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
   ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
   ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

a related question: is this the right format to create the preamble
string:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
'(;; Name
  "obb-article-full-page"
  ;; Preamble
  (concat
   "\\documentclass{article}\n"
   "[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]\n"
   "[PACKAGES]\n"
   "[EXTRA]\n"
   "\\usepackage[cm]{fullpage}\n")
  ;; Sectioning Structure
  ("\\part{%s}" . "\\part*{%s}")
  ("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}") ...)
#+END_SRC

not sure if I need the line-feeds ...

No, that would NOT go in the LaTeX "header" part (that is, the
preamble).

[O] latex header lines vs latex block

2014-09-09 Thread Thorsten Jolitz 

Hi List, 

I often see many lines like this if Org files:

,
| #+LaTeX_CLASS: koma-book
| #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
| #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
| #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{palatino}
| #+LaTeX_HEADER: \bibliographystyle{alpha}
| #+LaTeX_HEADER: \bibliography{../bandbook.bib}
| #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{fixltx2e}
| #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{graphicx} [...]
`

would it be the same to just put a 

#+BEGIN_LATEX
... latex-header code ...
#+END_LATEX

instead of many header lines?
