Hi,

I’m quite busy with the export as such.

 It’s an interesting challenge and I currently would like to document it along a variation of your workaround and then maybe discuss whether we want LaTeX-mode or plain latex-mode regardless Of AucTeX in the list. 

There may be some benefit of using LaTeX mode in the only export buffer, but I don’t see it…

Best PA

Hi Perdo.

Did you manage to get a solution to this?

Best,

Hi Pedro.

You haven't loaded reftex though. What if you add (use-package reftex) in your configuration?

Here, the text is inserted in the buffer, so the local variables won't be set. I tried a "manual" approach where in the org latex export buffer I did M-: (setq TeX-master t) and then did M-: (reftex-TeX-master-file), but I still got the same error.

However, even if reftex-TeX-master-file did use TeX-master-file correctly, org-mode would still have a problem because it would hit the (error "Need a filename for this buffer, please save it first"). Because of this I believe that both reftex and org have a bug.
