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-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

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

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

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#! /bin/bash
orglib=$HOME/elisp/org-mode/lisp
emacs --batch \

The problem is probably that --batch implies -q, so .emacs is *not*
loaded and you don't get your load-path customizations. Maybe
something like this will work (the quoting gets hairy, so pay
close attention to all the details):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#! /bin/bash
orglib=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org
emacs --batch \
--eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \"$orglib\")"
--load=$orglib/org.elc \
--eval "(setq org-export-headline-levels 2)" \
--visit=$1 --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

... and I just noticed that I missed a backslash on the added line.
Sorry about that.

(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.

Another solution is a Makefile, such as this one:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
## Makefile for Web site (+ PDF equivalent)
# Time-stamp: <2009-09-02 Wed 16:43 sva on mundaneum>
# Defined rules for users:
#
# - (make called without parameter)
# Generate all PDF
#
# - clean
# Delete all temporary files
#
# - realclean
# Do `make clean' plus remove all generated files
# where to find a recent version of Org-mode
ORGLIB = $(HOME)/Downloads/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp
# publish HTML directory
DISTDIR = ../public_html
# platform-specific setup (to override ORGLIB and/or DISTDIR)
-include Make.params
PDFLATEX = pdflatex --interaction=batchmode
RM = rm -f
RMEXT = *.log *.aux *.toc *.lot *.lof *.out *.ilg *.idx *.ind *.blg *.bbl \
*.glg *.glx *.glo *.gls *.tex
RMOUT = *.pdf $(DISTDIR)/*.html
# all source files
ORG=$(wildcard *.org)
# all exported PDF files
PDF=$(patsubst %.org, %.pdf, $(ORG))
# all TEX files
TEX=$(patsubst %.org, %.tex, $(ORG))
# all published HTML files
HTML=$(patsubst %.org, $(DISTDIR)/%.html, $(ORG))
.PHONY: all html pdf clean realclean
# avoid make to delete intermediate `%.tex' target
.PRECIOUS: %.tex
.DEFAULT_GOAL := all
all: html pdf
html: $(HTML)
pdf: $(PDF) clean
tex: $(TEX)
$(DISTDIR)/%.html: %.org
@echo
@emacs --batch \
--eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \"$(ORGLIB)\")" \
--load ./Org2HTML.el \
--visit=$^ \
--funcall org-publish-current-file
%.pdf: %.tex
# Runs LaTeX once, then reruns LaTeX as many times as necessary to get rid of
# the "Rerun to get cross-references right" warning message
@echo
@echo "* Running \`pdfLaTeX $^' *"
@$(RM) *.log
@$(PDFLATEX) $^
@while ( grep -e "Rerun .* cross-references" *.log > /dev/null ); \
do \
echo; \
echo "* Re-running \`pdfLaTeX $^' *"; \
$(RM) *.log; \
$(PDFLATEX) $^; \
done
%.tex: %.org
# Pay attention that `--batch' implies `-q', so `.emacs' is *not* loaded and
# you don't get your `load-path' customizations. Hence, this loads the Emacs
# built-in version of Org-mode.
@echo
@emacs --batch \
--eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \"$(ORGLIB)\")" \
--eval "(require 'org)" \
--eval "(require 'org-exp)" \
--eval "(setq org-export-headline-levels 2)" \
--load ./Org2LaTeX.el \
--visit=$^ \
--funcall org-export-as-latex-batch
clean:
-$(RM) $(RMEXT)
realclean: clean
-$(RM) $(RMOUT)
## Makefile ends here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It has the advantage of running only the required compilation for the modified
files, and generates both HTML and PDF versions...
A nice thing would be to be able to even merge all the PDF files into one --
but here come questions like in which order, with or without title page, and
so on.
Comments (more than) welcome!
