[Orgmode] Publish-current-file error
Dear all, Today I was trying to publish a single org file using org-publish-current-file, however, org refused to do so, the error message is let*: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil I believe the org-publish function work well, for I could get the pre-defined project published smoothly. So do anyone has met similar problem? All the best, Chao ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Publish-current-file error
Hey Nick, Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation, now I'm pretty clear about the error. But I just get the idea why we could not publish arbitrary org file as html to current directory, I guess it could be kind of troublesome that every time to set up the project first? What do you think?

You just cannot take an arbitrary org file and publish it without providing the publishing framework for it.

Assuming you do a good job of implementing it, Carsten will happily accept patches. :-) Cheers, Nick ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

That process is called exporting, not publishing, it needs no further setup and is described in the manual. - Carsten What do you think?
