Hi list, I am having problems with exporting code blocks to pdf or html documents. I noticed the problem with a PlantUML block that I use for inline diagrams. As I only want the diagram in the output, I use ':exports result' in the header of the block. My main target is PDF output and the PDF looks fine, although I get errors in the '*Org PDF LaTeX Output*' buffer: 'Error: no lexer for alias 'plantuml' found'. Looking at the intermediate LaTeX buffer, the code block indeed is also there, but because of the error does not produce any output in the PDF. So I tried to shrink the problem down to reproduce the error and there I found another thing that I do not understand. To proove that ':exports result' works, I added two one line shell calls, but to my amazement, calling 'pwd' also exports the code, but not calling 'date'. To me things look identical, so I have no idea why this would happen. The problems also show when exporting to html, so they seem to be somewhere in the inner workings of org mode. Please find attached a short test case showing the problem. It requires PlantUML to generate the diagram, but the shell blocks also show a problem that should be easy to reproduce. Am I doing something terribly stupid? How can I make things work, like I would expect them to? Any hint greatly appreciated! Thanks Detlev ----8<---------- Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report?
