I'm using a memorandum specific style when I do LaTeX export of an org-mode document. It has some fields that I'd like to specify/fill in in a manner similar to the way AUTHOR, TITLE, DATE
are specified.
How do I define new document options?
How can I use them in exported documents?
Right now, I'm focused on LaTeX export, but might also want to do HTML output, in which case I would want to use the new options in a customized postamble.
What I have now:
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
#+AUTHOR: Dave
#+TITLE: write_me
#+DATE: 22 March 2018
#+LATEX_CLASS: myMemo
#+LATEX_HEADER: \memoto{ Alice }
* Content
blah....
myMemo
is a modified version of this memo template. The original style uses some
custom macros like memoto
and memofrom
to setup the To: and From lines in the memorandum. So far, I've modified most of the lines in myMemo.sty
so that
they use the values defined in the org file:
\begin{description}
\ifthenelse{\equal{\@memoto}{\relax}}{}{\item [{To:}] \@memoto}
\item [{From:}] \@author
\item [{Subject:}] \@title
\item [{Date:}] \@date
\end{description}
so that the header portion of the memo uses the values defined by #+AUTHOR: ...
etc. However, I don't see a good solution for being able to do the same thing for the To: item that doesn't involve defining a new option (so that line is unchanged from the original style file, and it is specified in the org file with at LATEX_HEADER
command).
so, it seems to me that I need a new variable in order to be able to specify the other features I'd like to have in the header. I'd like to have something like this:
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
#+AUTHOR: Dave
#+RECIPIENT: Alice
#+TITLE: write_me
#+DATE: 22 March 2018
#+LATEX_CLASS: myMemo
# The class file has been modified to make use of the RECIPIENT field
# in an appropriate way; for example using a \@recipient macro
# whose value is specified via the RECIPIENT line above
* Content
blah...
How do I do it?
