A Personal Configuration for Generating Documents from .org Files in Various Formats

Although this project was created entirely for personal use, it may be useful to others. For that reason, the following usage instructions are provided:

Usage

Clone/Copy the Repository

Clone or copy this repository into the directory where your working org files are stored (hereafter referred to as the “project directory”). Name the cloned or copied directory config.

Create Symbolic Links

In the root of the project directory, create symbolic links to the following three files located inside the config directory:

• .dir-locals.el -> config/dot.dir-locals.el
• .latexmkrc -> config/dot.latexmkrc
• biblatex.cfg -> config/biblatex.cfg

Export from Org Files

Start the org-export-dispatcher (C-c C-e) from within your org buffer. Currently, only LaTeX export is supported.

• If you’re using org-cite to insert citations, save the .bib file containing your references in the project directory as references.bib.
  • The citar-extract-bibtex tool might help you generate references.bib from your default bibliography file.
