A simple hack is to redefine \title in the header, noting that the
exporter puts the title specification *after* all the latex_header lines
in the latex file.
In one case, I needed the title to be right at the top of the page so I
did the following:
#+latex_header: \title{\vspace*{-1.5cm}Workplan}\renewcommand{\title}[1]{}
Note that the title command is redefined to do nothing.

That change to the latex header I paste from the template into my org file is small enough to be acceptable. Best, Andreas
Re: [O] empty LaTeX export template
Andreas, Thanks a lot. I'll use this approach. That change to the latex header I paste from the template into my org file is small enough to be acceptable. Speaking of which, did you consider just exporting the body without header-info? Then you could prepare a minimal .tex file and input the file generated by org. The minimal file could even just be a tangled file from the org file . . . –Rasmus -- Got mashed potatoes. Ain't got no T-Bone. No T-Bone

I will investigate that route (at some point). Best, Andreas
[O] empty LaTeX export template
Hi all, I am lazy (main reason for this question) and I would like to avoid filling my org-latex-classes with too many entries (surrogate reason). So I'd like to ask: Is there a possibility to get a really empty LaTeX export that reads everything (including the documentclass) from the #+LATEX_HEADER ? The reason for this is, that many journals/conferences come with their own LaTeX template (if I am lucky, that is). It would be very convenient, if I could just yank the provided header into my *.org file (and prefix with #+LATEX_HEADER). Is that possible? Regards, Andreas

I think you can just define a minimal class in org-latex-classes;
something like
\documentclass{article}
[NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
[NO-PACKAGES]
[EXTRA]
Then none of the packages listed in org-latex-default-packages-alist and
org-latex-packages-alist are included, and only the
#+LATEX_HEADER(_EXTRA) keywords are considered.
Hope this helps,

Hi Suvayu,
this did help, indeed. Thanks a lot. I did not think it was that easy.
I found, that I can just omit the documentclass from the
org-latex-classes.
So, now I have:
--8---cut here---start-8---
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
'(bare
\[NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
\[NO-PACKAGES]
\[EXTRA]
(\\section{%s} . \\section*{%s})
(\\subsection{%s} . \\subsection*{%s})
(\\subsubsection{%s} . \\subsubsection*{%s})))
--8---cut here---end---8---
This should work in most cases.
To use this I do:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil author:nil skip:nil
#+LATEX_CLASS: bare
#+LATEX_HEADER: % everything from the template
--8---cut here---end---8---
One problem remains, though: orgmode keeps messing with the title.
I can, of course, set the title through #+TITLE: but I would prefer to
set it through some #+LATEX_HEADER as the templates often require their
own title setting directives.
So, my follow-up question is: How can I get orgmode to not fiddle with
the title in a LaTeX export?
Regards,
Andreas
