But it seems to have no I use #+LATEX_HEADER: \input{ews30setup} % pointing to ews30setup.tex in the org-file, I export, not a setupfile. Alternatively you can use #+INCLUDE: template.org to grab more than just the org-setup. For an example, see https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketo/browse/software/wisp.org?rev=31bb4a1fb49c#L1 #+INCLUDE: ../org-templates/level-1.org This pulls the actual content of the file: https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketo/browse/org-templates/level-1.org?rev=31bb4a1fb49c There is also a setupfile at the bottom: https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketo/browse/software/wisp.org?rev=31bb4a1fb49c#L1632 #+setupfile: ../org-templates/level-1-software.org This only pulls the changed org-mode settings: https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketo/browse/org-templates/level-1-software.org?rev=31bb4a1fb49c #+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: #+HTML_LINK_UP: ../software.html > 3. Another friend told me that .sty templates were the best way. I don’t yet have sufficient hold of that. To date I’m using the memoir-class to get the styling I need — where I use styling (that’s not the draketo site, but the ews document). > 5.
