I've been learning to export from org to latex (to pdf), and have had great success. There's a simplification to the process I'd like to make, though, if it's possible.
Right now I use files: file.org and filestyle.sty. The .sty gives the latex-specific instruction, and I point to it from file.org with a line of #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{filestyle}. This works great, but I'd love to have just one file, not two, to keep things simple. So I tried putting the contents of filestyle.sty near the top of file.org inside of #+BEGIN_latex and #+END_latex, but it doesn't quite work. It incompletely works, which is perplexing... I'd appreciate any ideas about this--can it be done? Thank you! Steven
