Nicolas- I am trying to derive a backend from another derived backend (i want to override certain entries in the options-alist), but it does not seem to work. The menu entries are created, but the in the second-level derived backend are not being picked up.
Should this work? Or do i need a different approach? here's abbreviated code: (org-export-define-derived-backend s5 html :menu-entry (?s "Export to S5 HTML Presentation" ((?H "To temporary buffer" org-s5-export-as-html) (?h "To file" org-s5-export-to-html) (?o "To file and open" (lambda (a s v b) (if a (org-s5-export-to-html t s v b) (org-open-file (org-s5-export-to-html nil s v b))))))) :options-alist [...] ;; this is the full exporter definition (org-export-define-derived-backend s5-xoxo s5 :menu-entry (?s "Export to S5 HTML Presentation" ((?X "To temporary buffer (XOXO)" org-s5-export-as-html) (?x "To file (XOXO)" org-s5-export-to-html) (?O "To file and open (XOXO)" (lambda (a s v b) (if a (org-s5-export-to-html t s v b) (org-open-file (org-s5-export-to-html nil s v b))))))) :options-alist ((:html-container nil nil "li") ;; this is defined in the html backend ;; this is new to this backend (:s5-xoxo-root "S5_XOXO_ROOT" nil org-s5-xoxo-root-element))) If i use e.g., s-X or s-x in the exporter menu, in exporter functions, :html-container == "div" (which is set in the html exporter), and :s5-xoxo-root is nil. tia, rick
