Huh, well that's interesting. I /had/ #+setupfile, and only changed due to following the upgrade guide (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html) #+begin_quote Other important changes #+STYLE: -> #+HTML_HEAD: #+SETUPFILE: myfile -> =#+INCLUDE: "myfile"= #+end_quote That reads, to me, as though the syntax changed. Perhaps the "->" didn't mean what I took it to mean? > > In your case, the INCLUDE keyword doesn't belong to the subtree, so it > is never expanded. Thanks for the clarification. For me (since I'm not an elisper), the mechanics aren't too important. All I really want is the correct way to apply org-mode settings to a buffer or a subtree by default, unless I specify otherwise inside a subtree to override the buffer-wide setupfile. Based on the above, should that line be removed from the Worg update guide? If so, I can do that. If someone has a better understanding of why it was included (perhaps #+include is a new feature and should be better explained), then maybe they should do it. I'll change back to #+setupfile!
