I've been trying to find a way to use org-mode from my iPad (other than
MobileOrg, which seems really unwieldy), and the closest I've come is to
us the vSSH app to connect to my desktop Mac and run emacs there.
Unfortunately, I'm running into some limitations and I'm not aware of
the workarounds, if any. I'm hoping someone here might know.
The most obvious is that after editing my org document, I want to export
to an HTML buffer from which I could copy and paste to Blogger (in a
browser). My normal key sequence
C-c C-e C-b h H
doesn't work, as the C-b seems to be treated as an ordinary 'b'. I don't
get a window showing me the HTML export. Anyone familiar with this or
how to get around it?
Then, does anyone know a way to copy the contents of the vSSH app
display to the iPad clipboard so I can paste into another app? I don't
mind having to edit out some amount of cruft that goes with it, as long
as I can get the basic HTML.
Thanks very much!

P.S. - I've also tried using the Editorial app with md format, but I
really miss org's ability to format tables and lists on the fly.
Editorial doesn't seem to do that.

Ok, now I'm having a worse problem. Trying to get HTML output in a buffer on my Mac, I'm getting this error:
apply: Wrong type argument: listp, #("The Age of Wonder, Part II" 0 26 (:parent (#0)))
Any guesses what might cause this? It seems to be dying on this line:
#+title: The Age of Wonder, Part II
but I don't know why. I even tried changing the "," to " -", but no joy. The whole header looks like this:
#+STARTUP: showeverything logdone
#+options: num:nil toc:nil
#+author: Peter Davis
#+title: The Age of Wonder, Part II
Thanks,

another set of parens perhaps?

does (setq mouse-drag-copy-region t) work?

I just copied what was in the *Messages* buffer. I tried the sequence
C-c C-e C-b h H
to get HTML, but I got that error.
Interestingly, this worked with the same file on a desktop Mac I have. I
thought perhaps the state of emacs had somehow gotten changed, but
exiting emacs and re-starting did not help.

I can copy in emacs. I guess this is more of a vSSH question ... how can
I copy to the iPad clipboard so I can paste into another app.
Thanks!
