The current (org-version=9.2.4) documentation of the LANGUAGE option for LaTeX export gives this example :
#+begin_example (add-to-list org-latex-package-alist '("AUTO" "babel" t ("pdflatex"))) (add-to-list org-latex-package-alist '("AUTO" "polyglossia" t ("xelatex" "lualatex"))) #+end_example It should be: #+begin_example #+bensert the example in agin_src emacs-lisp :exports none :results none (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("AUTO" "babel" t ("pdflatex"))) (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("AUTO" "polyglossia" t ("xelatex" "lualatex"))) #+end_src #+end_example i. e.: * The name of the list has to be quoted. * The exact list name has as "s" after "package". * I'd give a full ~emacs-lisp~ snippet (but I agree that this is disputable...).
