Org Chameleon Export

Sometimes you want your exports to blend in with your Emacs theme.

This currently only works with LaTeX exports, but it would be nice if more formats could be supported in future. To use with LaTeX just change the documents #+latex_class to use the pseudo-class chameleon and org-latex-default-class will be used with some extra generated preamble content to make the result similar to your buffer 🙂.

Required ox-latex tweaks

For ox-chameleon to work, two things are needed:

1. Some KOMA-script tooling, provided by either a. Using a KOMA class, such as scrartcl, scrrept, or scrbook b. Adding the scrextend package
2. The xcolor package, if its not already part of the preamble

To add packages to the LaTeX preamble globally, you can use org-latex-packages-alist like so

(add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "scrextend" nil))
(add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "xcolor" nil))

Alternatively, you can just add them to documents where ox-chameleon is used, like so

#+latex_header: \usepackage{scrextend}
#+latex_header: \usepackage{xcolor}
