Long org-export latex header

Question

I need many lines in my org-export latex header.

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[main=british,polutonikogreek]{babel}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{fontspec}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{hanging}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setmainfont{ebgaramond}[Contextuals=Alternate]
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newcount\instr \instr=1 % hide/show instructions
#+LATEX_HEADER: \babelhyphenation[british]{philo-sophy}

Is there an alternative to putting #+LATEX_HEADER in front of each?

Answer 1

A possible solution is to write a file with the LaTeX preamble, like

%% This is the file MyTeXHeader.tex
\usepackage[main=british,polutonikogreek]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{hanging}
\setmainfont{ebgaramond}[Contextuals=Alternate]
\newcount\instr \instr=1 % hide/show instructions
\babelhyphenation[british]{philo-sophy}

and then use a single call of #+latex_header in your org file

#+title: A shortcut in my LaTeX header
#+author: Stan Lee
#+latex_header: \input{/path/to/your/MyTeXHeader.tex}
