Hi Nick, thanks for the response! Actually in the code that I had pasted, the emacs --batch call is all on one line (so no need to escape newlines there). I tried your code with both orglib=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org and orglib=$HOME/elisp/org-mode/lisp but got Cannot open load file: org-macs in both cases I also added a line, --eval "(load \"/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org.elc\")" \ to replace the --load option but same deal.
I do in fact have org-macs in my 'orglib' directories so I tried loading them explicitly (with multiple --load specifications), but it still doesn't work (Still "Cannot open load file" pointing to some org file or subst-ksc, depending on how many or in what order org .el files are loaded). Any more ideas? Thanks...!

If you cut-n-pasted from the org-export-as-latex-batch help, you fell into the trap :-) Maybe the documentation of the function could be changed to add the backslashes? The following script (I call it org-to-latex) works fine on linux: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #! /bin/bash orglib=$HOME/elisp/org-mode/lisp emacs --batch \ --load=$orglib/org.elc \ --eval "(setq org-export-headline-levels 2)" \ --visit=$1 --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- You can add a loop in it too - or do the loop by hand: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- for x in *.org do org-to-latex $x done --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- HTH, Nick _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
