Aloha all, A document I've been working on for several weeks broke recently without changes on my part. However, I've been tracking the master git branch every once in a while and I suspect some change in Org is the culprit.
Org-mode version 8.3beta (release_8.3beta-580-g787733 @ /Users/dk/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/lisp/) I haven't tried to make an ECM because I don't know what the problem could be. Here is a backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Undefined Org macro: ad; aborting.") signal(error ("Undefined Org macro: ad; aborting.")) error("Undefined Org macro: %s; aborting." "ad") org-macro-replace-all((("author" . #("Thomas S. Dye" 0 13 (:parent (#("Thomas S. Dye" 0 13 (:parent #4)))))) ("date" . "\\today") ("email" . "t...@tsdye.com") ("title" . #("Dating human dispersal in Remote Oceania: A view from Hawai`i" 0 61 (:parent (#("Dating human dispersal in Remote Oceania: A view from Hawai`i" 0 61 (:parent #4))))))) finalize) org-export-as(latex nil nil nil (:output-file "./dispersals.tex")) org-export-to-file(latex "./dispersals.tex" nil nil nil nil nil #[(file) "\301!\207" [file org-latex-compile] 2]) org-latex-export-to-pdf(nil nil nil nil) (org-open-file (org-latex-export-to-pdf nil s v b)) (if a (org-latex-export-to-pdf t s v b) (org-open-file (org-latex-export-to-pdf nil s v b))) (lambda (a s v b) (if a (org-latex-export-to-pdf t s v b) (org-open-file (org-latex-export-to-pdf nil s v b))))(nil nil nil nil) org-export-dispatch(nil) call-interactively(org-export-dispatch nil nil) command-execute(org-export-dispatch) The error message refers to a macro, ad. I don't have an "ad" macro. Where does this come from? The next header line, after the headers that become macros, is #+ADDRESS:, which starts with "ad", although the case is different. Also, the string "ad" occurs frequently in my writing as the path in a custom link that sets the path as small caps in LaTeX output, e.g. [[sc:ad][AD]]. You can see that I'm groping in the dark. Any suggestions how I might go about debugging this? All the best, Tom -- T.S.
