Hello Rasmus,
I'd like to make the ox-publish based exporting working for my ox-hugo[1]
package but so far have been unsuccessful.
The main reason is that org-foo-publish-to-bar functions take only plist,
filename and pub-dir as args. I miss the ability to first pick a subtree
scope from the specific Org file and then export only that. Is something
like that already possible which I am missing?
In addition, when given a file name, I need to auto-decide (i) if I need to
cycle through "valid" subtrees (see more about that below) and export those
subtrees,or (ii) export the whole Org file if #+TITLE is present.
So I ended up with org-hugo-export-wim-to-md[2] ("wim" stands for What I
Mean). Below is a snippet from its doc string:
=====
- If the current subtree has the \"EXPORT_FILE_NAME\" property, export
that subtree.
- If the current subtree doesn't have that property, but one of its
parent subtrees has, then export from that subtree's scope.
- If none of the subtrees have that property (or if there are no Org
subtrees at all), but the Org #+TITLE keyword is present,
export the whole Org file as a post with that title (calls
`org-hugo-export-to-md' with its SUBTREEP argument set to nil).
- If ALL-SUBTREES is non-nil, export all valid Hugo post subtrees
\(that have the \"EXPORT_FILE_NAME\" property) in the current file
to multiple Markdown posts.
- If ALL-SUBTREES is non-nil, and again if none of the subtrees have
that property (or if there are no Org subtrees), but the Org #+TITLE
keyword is present, export the whole Org file.
- If the file neither has valid Hugo post subtrees, nor has the
#+TITLE present, throw a user error. If NOERROR is non-nil, use
`message' to display the error message instead of signaling a user
error.
=====
And I use a Makefile[3] to find all Org files in the current directly and
call the above function, which then does the right thing as explained in
the conditions above.
Is there any way to call org-publish to export either the entire file or
cycle through the file and export the subtrees matching a predicate?
