Re: [O] two simple derived backend questions
Hi, I realize I never responded to say thank you.
This is a big help, and I now have things working the way I like!

More importantly, org-reveal allows the use of speaker notes, thus:

In that case I would indeed use a filter and run it conditional on the file path, available through the info plist. You could can add lines via org-export-before-processing-hook. Combine, outline-next-heading (or just re-search-forward and org-heading-regexp), check with org-element-at-point or org-outline-level and go to the end of the headline and insert your line (if you use org-element-at-point for this, remember to skip backwards through the " \n\t"). > yes, that's right, I was being hasty.

It gives a div already with ox-md, right? What do you want more? Do you want it to be an element? If so, use a filter on org-export-filter-special-block-functions that does a regexp replacement.

What’s a hhr element?

yes. but then I will have to take out all the "-"
elements if I want to go back to using my original org documents again.
The point is that I have lots of these lecture notes, and would prefer not
to alter them too severely if possible.
Err, what about

yes, that's right, I was being hasty. In any case, what I would like to do
is reproduce this behaviour in the markdown export; I have tried modifying

Ok here is a hint. You can add a menu item if you really need it.
--8<---cut here---start->8---
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-export-define-derived-backend
'md-plus
'md
:translate-alist '(
(export-block . org-md-plus-export-block))
:export-block'("NOTES"))
(defun org-md-plus-export-block
(export-block contents info)
"Transcode a EXPORT-BLOCK NOTES element from Org to md-plus.
CONTENTS is nil. INFO is a plist holding contextual information."
(if (equal (org-element-property :type export-block) "NOTES")
(concat "\n"
(org-element-property :value export-block)
"\n")
(let ((parent-backend (org-export-backend-parent backend)))
(if parent-backend
(org-export-with-backend
parent-backend export-block contents info)
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_NOTES
just for the note takers...
#+END_NOTES
: Run like this

[O] two simple derived backend questions
Hi folks, I apologize fro relying on your charity for htis question -- I ought to figure this out myself, but am so slow that I've run out of time. I dhave a number of lecture slides writen in org-mode. Normally I simply export to reveal.js using org-reveal. However, I now have to share these notes with a co-instructor who uses markdown, but not org. This is not fatal; I can export to markdown mode and use pandoc to create the reveal.js slideshows. However, there are two small difficulties: a) add a horizontal rule pandoc expects a horizontal rule at each slide division. So, if possible, I would like to add an hhr element at the end of every headline. b) speker notes More importantly, org-reveal allows the use of speaker notes, thus: #+BEGIN_NOTES whatever I put here #+ END_NOTES is exported as: whaever I put here However, these blocks are ignored by the markdown exporter. Presumably I need to add a filter, or build a very simple derived backend, but my attempts thus far haven't been very successful. I would really appreciate some suggestions! Thank you, matt
