I would be interested to hear how you go. I have a use case coming up
where I need to publish a large number of org files using a batch job,
so expect to run into the same issue. Right now, I'm still getting my
head around how to best get a consistent style when the input comes from
multiple org files from different sources and I want to minimise editing
the sources, plus provide a simple way to update/change the styling
later.
