Hi,
I have been looking at publishing to HTML using pandoc. Because pandoc
requires post-processing to transform the org-mode markdown output to
other formats, it is necessary to use the post-process parameter of
org-export-to-file. Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to
pass post-process through to org-export-to-file via
org-publish-org-to. The attached patch allows this.
I think this patch makes sense; let me know what you think.
best, Erik

Thanks for your patch.
Though, it is not necessary. `post-process' is meant for processing
after an asynchronous export (e.g., prepare a buffer in the current
process).
You're looking after a filter. See
(info "(org) Advanced configuration")
for more information.

Hi Nicholas,
Thanks very much for your response (and ox.el)! I looked at filters,
but concluded they were not appropriate, because pandoc operates on
the file as a whole, and writes to a file, and can return binary
content (for example, if it is generating PDFs). It seemed equivalent
to the way that the latex exporter uses pdflatex to generate a PDF,
and the latex exported uses a post-process function.
I could be wrong, though. It would also be convenient to have access
to the info plist; in fact, I was going to write another email about
having access to the info plist in a post-process filter.
Is there a way to define a filter that operates on the entire content,
is guaranteed to run after everything else, and can handle binary
content? Thanks.
best, Erik

Then you're correct: filters won't help.

Not really. If you look at `org-latex-publish-to-pdf' you will see that
publishing is done differently: the binary file is generated, then
published as an attachment.

Sort of. `org-export-filter-final-output-functions' will get you the
final string, along with the info plist. You can use it to apply
modifications and generate the binary file. The original output can then
be discarded.

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks so much for your help. This looks like exactly what I need.
