I apologize in advance for the flood of questions, but I'm using org in
new ways now for creating documentation, and running into a lot of
issues.
1) Is there a way to automatically say "yes" to all the "Evaluate code
block...?" questions when I export, so I don't have to keep typing "yes"
over and over again?
2) How does the export menu get set? I'm loading, for example,
ox-texinfo, but I don't see the option to export texinfo when I type C-c
C-e. I'm also loading ox-pandoc, which shows me a slew of export
formats on my Mac, but only two, file and buffer, on my Win10 machine.
3) Still trying to find a way to get to DocBook XML (4, it turns out). I
know the export page says to output texi (see #2 above) and then convert
with makeinfo, but I have my doubts. Of course, once I get texi working
I'll be able to see for myself what information, if any, is lost.
4) Is json a valid language for #+BEGIN_SRC? I don't see any syntax
highlighting in HTML or LaTeX/PDF output, and I'm getting errors from
LaTeX:
! Package Listings Error: language json undefined.
Come to think of it, I think the org-mode doc lists both JavaScript (js)
and JSON (json) as supported languages for code blocks, but the Listings
LaTeX package doesn't list either of these.
Thanks!

I googled "stop orgmode babel having to confirm" and got these:
- http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/23946/how-can-i-stop-the-confirmation-to-evaluate-source-code-when-exporting-to-html
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29952543/how-do-i-prevent-org-mode-from-executing-all-of-the-babel-source-blocks
Both refer to babel variables you can set.[1] You can put them in a
single file (at the very top):
# -*- org-confirm-babel-evaluate: nil; -*-
Or add this to .emacs
(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)
Or use #+bind[2] within a file (similar to the first local variable example).

Guessing it's something on your side? Having never used it, I just added:
(require 'ox-texinfo)
I get an [i] option after C-e with various "Export to texinfo" options.

No experience, so can't speak to this.

Not sure where that was. I use this page as my reference and don't see
it (but do see js):

Thanks, John (and others) for this! You've saved me a lot of annoying
typing.

Interestingly, if I do M-x load-library ox-texinfo in emacs, it works
and I get the texinfo options. However, just loading it in my startup
file doesn't seem to be working. Curious.

Hmmm. I don't remember where I saw it offhand, but js didn't work
either. This page now tells me I need to have node.js installed.
Thanks!

See org-latex-custom-lang-environments, where you'll be able to map the
Org mode language name to one recognized by the listings (or minted)
LaTeX package.

I prefer to put nil evaluate as local variables at the very end of your org file:
# Local Variables:
# org-confirm-babel-evaluate: nil
# End:

See org-confirm-babel-evaluate, then set it to nil.

Yes, I believe so. Try
: M-x customize-variable RET org-export-babel-evaluate RET
> 2) How does the export menu get set?
I noticed there's a variable to control it, but whether that's the whole
story I don't know. Anyway, try:
: M-x customize-variable RET org-export-backends
I'm afraid I can't help with the remaining questions.

Ah! The help (C-h v org-export-backends) for this variable says it must
be set before org.el is loaded. Otherwise, it can be modified with
customize, or with some code which is shown in the help.
It appears to have had the initial value (ascii html icalendar latex),
and also has md on my currently running emacs.
Thanks!

I now have a working routine for this on Windows 10, though it's not
pretty:
1. Edit file in emacs org-mode
2. Export to TeXInfo (texi) format
3. Open Ubuntu/Bash window:
a. cp ../../../mnt/c/Users/pdavis/org/filename.texi ./
b. makeinfo --docbook filename.texi
c. cp ./filename.xml ../../../mnt/c/Users/pdavis/org
4. Open filename.xml in emacs and replace header with db-xml-hdr.xml
5. Open edited filename.xml in ArborText
Tedious, but it works. I can probably find ways to automate some of it,
such as a bash shell script to copy the file, run makeinfo, substitute
the header, and copy it back.
Thanks,
