Hello:
I am seeking to find the right way to obtain identical output when exporting an
Org file into texinfo using the export menu from within the Org file as well as
from a Makefile using an Emacs batch script.
Currently I am using (org-export-to-file ‘texinfo “<file-name>”) from within a
Makefile. This produces a file that has a few differences from that produced
by using the export menu 'C-c C-e i t’.
The batch script is:
emacs -Q --batch --eval '\
(progn \
(require '\''org) \
(require '\''ob) \
(require '\''ox-texinfo) \
(require '\''ob-shell) \
(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil) \
(find-file "$(ORG)") \
(org-export-to-file '\''texinfo "$(TEXI)"))'
The differences include:
- the {{{date}}} macro is empty when created with the Makefile
e.g. subtitle Version 0.0.0
versus
subtitle Version 0.0.0 2020-01-07 10:05
The Org source is:
#+subtitle {{{version}}} {{{date}}}
#+macro:version Version 0.0.0
The version macro is expanded but not the date macro.
- references are random strings rather than similar to the #+name when created
with the Makefile
e.g. float Listing,orge1fba27
versus
float Listing,get-org-filename
- periods at the end of variable references
e.g. ... exists: $NEWDIR.
versus
...exists: $NEWDIR@.
Thank you for any suggestions.
Wesley
