Thanks yet again! That makes sense... works now!!

(sorry, forgot to mention that I created and copied my files to the latter 
directory to try it out)

(yes, caught that!)

Thanks again very much, Nick - this had been on my mind for a while.

Re: [Orgmode] export (as latex) a large number of org files in a directory

[Stephen Tucker]

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...!

Stephen

Did you escape the newlines? 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

[Orgmode] export (as latex) a large number of org files in a directory

[Stephen Tucker]

Hi, I am trying to export a bunch of .org files stored in a directory as latex 
files. I have tried two methods:

(1) 
---
At the bash prompt (I am using OS X):

bash$ emacs --batch
--load=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org.elc
--visit=file.org --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch'

and I get an error:
"Cannot open load file: subst-ksc"

If I can get this to work, then I can embed this system call in a shell script 
and call it iteratively on a list of .org files retrieved from, say, Python or 
Bash (changing 'file.org' appropriately each time).

(2) 
---

I created the following function which is intended to take a filename argument, 
load it into a temporary buffer, and export that buffer as a latex file. I 
thought to apply (map) this function to a list of file names generated by the 
directory-files() function.

(defun orgexpastex (filenm)
  (let (buffer-file-name)
(with-temp-buffer
  (setq buffer-file-name "test")
  (insert-file-contents filenm)
  (org-export-as-latex 3)) ;;or (org-export-as-latex-batch))
)
)

But, upon testing this function,
(orgexpastex "file.org")

I get

[-] = =*Backtrace*--
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  re-search-forward(nil nil t)
  org-export-remove-headline-metadata((:for-LaTeX t :emph-multiline t
:add-text nil :comments nil :skip-before-1st-heading nil :LaTeX-fragments nil
:timestamps t :footnotes t))
  org-export-preprocess-string("" :for-LaTeX t :emph-multiline t :add-text nil
:comments nil :skip-before-1st-heading nil :LaTeX-fragments nil :timestamps t
:footnotes t)
  org-export-latex-first-lines((:latex-image-options "width=10em"
:exclude-tags ("noexport") :select-tags ("export") :auto-postamble t
[...snip...]

---

I wonder if it is obvious to anyone what I am doing wrong, or if there is a 
better way to go about exporting a bunch of org files with a program.

Thanks much!
Stephen
