[O] Is it generally better practice to specify local variables at the first line for Org files?

Hi. In most of my Emacs files, I set any file local variables using a local variables list near the end of the file. However I just realized a pitfall. Emacs, according to its manual, only recognizes this local variables list if its location fulfills two criteria: 1. It starts no more than 3000

[O] Repeating tasks with scheduled time

Say, I have this TODO item which needs to be repeated every evening after 20:00 and if it is not marked as DONE for several days, I want it to be moved to the NEAREST 20:00 in the future, i.e. to 20:00 TODAY if I mark it at noon. I thought, this would accomplish the goal: * TODO Load and run

Honestly, the sky is the limit. I agree with what everyone else is saying, it depends on the diagram, your skill level, comfort level, etc. Personally, I export to HTML, not LaTeX, plus I'm more old-school. I just use Perl w/GD to make many of my images. The PNG export is easily
