Hi List,
for me property-drawers are a very useful feature of Org-mode, since
the need to store meta-data for a document is so frequent and
property-drawers are human- and machine-readable, easy to handle
interactively and programmatically, and avoid all that nasty redundancy
and accidental variation of giving meta-data as free text.
However, property-drawers are not exported except separating blank
lines. This is a real pity in my eyes, since parts of an Org-mode
document that can't be exported are visible only to the author of the
document and a few fellows that use the raw Org document too. This might
make sense in some cases, but in others the property information should
be visible in the exported docs too.
I don't really consider the export options (#+TITLE, #+AUTHOR etc) as a
replacement for property drawers, in some situations I would like to use
property drawers and see them exported.
So here is my feature request, at least for the most important backends
ASCII, HTML and LATEX: add a function for property drawer export and an
export option to turn on/off this export.
PS
the status-quo of property-drawer export at the moment:
1. backends that (seem to) deal with property drawers:
,---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 3 matches for "property-drawer" in buffer: ox-html.el
| 83: (property-drawer . org-html-property-drawer)
| 2893:(defun org-html-property-drawer (property-drawer contents info)
| 2894: "Transcode a PROPERTY-DRAWER element from Org to HTML.
|
| 3 matches for "property-drawer" in buffer: ox-odt.el
| 66: (property-drawer . org-odt-property-drawer)
| 3017:(defun org-odt-property-drawer (property-drawer contents info)
| 3018: "Transcode a PROPERTY-DRAWER element from Org to ODT.
|
| 1 match for "property-drawer" in buffer: ox-org.el
| 91: (property-drawer . org-org-identity)
|
| 3 matches for "property-drawer" in buffer: ox-texinfo.el
| 96: (property-drawer . org-texinfo-property-drawer)
| 1399:(defun org-texinfo-property-drawer (property-drawer contents info)
| 1400: "Transcode a PROPERTY-DRAWER element from Org to Texinfo.
`---------------------------------------------------------------------------
but in all cases (except ox-org.el) the function looks like this:
,---------------------------------------------------------------------
| (defun org-html-property-drawer (property-drawer contents info)
| "Transcode a PROPERTY-DRAWER element from Org to HTML.
| CONTENTS is nil. INFO is a plist holding contextual
| information."
| ;; The property drawer isn't exported but we want separating blank
| ;; lines nonetheless.
| "")
`---------------------------------------------------------------------
2. backends that don't (really) deal with property drawers:
,---------------------------------------------------------
| 1 match for "property-drawer" in buffer: ox-man.el
| 83: (property-drawer . (lambda (&rest args) ""))
|
| 1 match for "property-drawer" in buffer: ox-latex.el
| 70: (property-drawer . (lambda (&rest args) ""))
|
| ox-ascii.el: not found
| ox-icalendar.el: not found
| ox-md.el: not found
`---------------------------------------------------------

This has been requested before. Property drawers are Org meta data, they
are not for user's cosumption. Though you can export some properties
with macros (see {{{property{NAME}}}} macros).
You can also create a derived back-end that will handle these elements
just fine.
AFAIK all backends (excepted "org", for obvious reasons) ignore property
drawers, as they should.

I know, because I missed that feature before, and I remember others did
ask for it too.

I don't really agree. Property drawers are for meta data used by
Org-mode too, obviously, but they are perfectly suited for meta-data
about the document, as well as those simple data-base features described
in the manual. Why deny Org users the full benefit of these other uses
for property-drawers by denying them the possibility to export their
document meta-data or data-bases?
I mean, everything else in Org-mode is more or less configurable, why
hardcode in this case that export is (by default) impossible?
Whats wrong e.g. with
,-------------------------------
| * My Source-file
| :PROPERTIES:
| :github-repo: <<repo-url>>
| :licence: <<licence>>
| :END:
`-------------------------------
?
This is not Org meta-data, its meaningless to Org-mode, but its
meta-data about the document, easily stored and accessed, readable, and
stays in the background during visibility cycling. And its for user
consumption, thus there should be a way to export this.
And whats wrong with a simple CD collection database implemented with
property-drawers, as described in the manual? Why shouldn't people be
allowed to export their CD database to some text-formatting backend?
IMO there should be transoder functions for property-drawers just like
for other elements in the main backend libs, not in some derived
backend. If by default they are not exported, nothing changes, but at
least the user has a choice.

Another use-case: properties might be used as the source of data in
tables/spreadsheets. Now I *really* would like to export my spreadsheet
to LaTeX, together with the "source data". (As I wrote on the list
some time ago, I used spreadsheets to prepare solutions to problems for
a course I'm teaching. Exporting the solutions w/o the givens is
stupid. Of course, I could put them also in the table, but this seems
artificial for me.
Another use case: assume I prepare a test, with each (sub)node a
problem. It would be natural to put the maximum mark for each problem
in properties, and (obviously) I'd like to be able to export them
(mapped to some LaTeX command, maybe even something like
\orgproperty{name}{value} - I could deal with the formatting on the
LaTeX side then.).

It seems I wasn't clear enough. More on this below.

I don't deny anyone the right code this:
(defun my-latex-property-drawer (drawer contents info)
(concat "\\begin{example}\n"
(org-element-interpret-data drawer)
"\\end{example}"))
(org-export-define-derived-backend 'my-latex 'latex
:translate-alist '((property-drawer . my-latex-property-drawer)))
[...]

Database example is interesting. My point is that you will never want to
dump the whole database in your exported document because Org may fill
it with its own meta-data, making the output look like garbage. Also,
some backends (ox-icalendar, at least) create properties during export,
so you would even get new properties in your output.
It's perfectly fine to export the part of a database you're interested
in, like your whole CD collection, but it requires to filter out Org
meta-data, and to properly format your own properties. This depends so
much on the contents of your database that it is impossible to provide
good defaults for it.
Therefore, default export doesn't even try. Instead, tools are provided
to access values from your own database (again, macro
{{{property(...)}}}) so they can be exported. If you have special needs
for your database, just code them and plug them in.
You have a choice.

I'm sure you don't, but what if I write some library that should be used
by others that can't be assumed to have installed 'my-latex.el'?
Then I can't base that library on the use of property drawers, what I
really would like to do, since its a feature I like very much, and IMO
one of the best supported features in Org-mode both for interactive and
programmatical use.

may be in the database example, but not in my application example -
there, all meta-info in property drawers is suitable for export, and no
other (Org-specific) meta info is added.

Ok, these are arguments that are easily understood. I'll have to take a
second look at those macros, they definitely look ugly, but maybe they
are usefull..
Thanks so far.

Hi everyone,
I would like to come back to this issue.
While I can follow the argumentation that drawers are meta data and that it is really hard for a backend to do something general and correct with them, I am still wondering if it wouldn't be good to have some default way to export them anyway. I'd be perfectly content to have is such that drawers can be exported as an @example block. I also think that the export of drawers should definitely be OFF by default.
Having the default backends allow export of drawers as examples opens the door to use filters to modify it. This has the advantage that a new backend does not have to be defined. I am experimenting right now with defining filters with Babel in buffers, and I am finding this a powerful way to tweak the export of an individual file.
The reason why I am bringing this up is the following:
I am reviving the Org Issues file, see the other thread on the mailing list. I would like to be able to export the LOOGBOOK state changes, and these are naturally located in a drawer.
The problem here is that the export is happening on worg, in an automatic way. So it is not really an easy option to define a new backend that will be used for just this file, because publishing on Worg uses org-to-html.
Now, being the person with the keys, I *could*, of course go and define a special backend on Worg that does what I want - but I do also understand the wish expressed by a couple of people in this thread.
We still have the variable org-export-with-drawers in ox.el. My proposal would be to set the default to nil, plain and simple, and use a t value to make drawers export as @example. Safe enough, and easy enough.
Regards
- Carsten

P.S. of course there is also the possibility that I could use Babel to define or temporarily modify an export backend on the fly - but I have not figured out how this might work......

OK,
now that I have made a fool out of myself, I think I understand now how
things work, and what I did not understand correctly in the
discussion so far.
1. I misunderstood that drawers could not be exported in
general with the new exporter. This is wrong, drawers are
exported just fine as long as org-export-with-drawers
is t or contains a list of drawer names that should be
exported. The reason why I misunderstood was a bug in my test
file where I have #+OPTIONS: d:(LOGBOOK) instead of d:("LOGBOOK")
2. If a drawer is selected for export, it will be exported as if it
was part of the Org file.
3. The only exception to this rule are property drawers, which will
currently not be exported by any of the backends. Nicolas
proposed to define a derived backend that does export the property
drawer, or he proposed to use macros to extract specific properties
to include into the exported file. Both are viable options.
I think this is all well and fine and very well argued.
One possible remaining option would be to introduce user variables
org-BACKEND-format-property-drawer-function in analogy
org-BACKEND-format-drawer-function. This would provide an easy way
to configure export of the property drawer as a whole, in a way
that could be file-local.
I would like to have this option. Nicolas, would you agree to a patch
in this direction?

property drawers are just too useful to restrict them to Org-mode's
internal meta-data, and anything that makes it easier to export them
when used for 'use case' related meta-data or as simple DB is welcome.

To be sure: Nicolas' argument that other functions dump data into
the property drawer is completely right, and so I also think that
one would hardly ever want to export the complete drawer. But
through a function that selects (or deselects), it is useful.

Unfortunately, this is a bit more difficult.
Indeed, `node-property' elements are distinct from `property-drawer'
elements. I.e., if we want to export property drawers as examples, as
you suggested earlier in this thread, we need to implement two functions
in each back-end: a transcoder for `node-property' and another one for
the `property-drawer' itself. Similarly, in order to implement your
current suggestion, we need both
`org-BACKEND-format-property-drawer-function' and
`org-BACKEND-format-node-property-function'.
IMO, this is a bit much for defcustoms, which are sold as an easy way to
configure Org behaviour.
There may be a slightly different option available: we can introduce
a new defcustom, e.g., `org-export-with-node-properties' (what symbol to
use for short item in OPTIONS?), which will trigger the following
behaviour:
- when t, export completely all property drawers as examples;
- when nil, do not export property drawers (default value);
- when set to a list of strings, export property drawers as examples
but only include properties matching these strings;
In that case, we need to:
1. patch ox.el to previous behaviour;
2. write two transcoder functions for each back-end where property
drawers make sense and install them in back-end definitions.
For example, in the `latex' back-end, such functions could be:
(defun org-latex-property-drawer (property-drawer contents info)
"Transcode a PROPERTY-DRAWER element from Org to LaTeX.
CONTENTS is the contents of the drawer, as a string. INFO is
a plist holding contextual information."
(and (org-string-nw-p contents)
(format "\\begin{verbatim}\n%s\\end{verbatim}" contents)))
(defun org-latex-node-property (node-property contents info)
"Transcode a NODE-PROPERTY element from Org to LaTeX.
CONTENTS is nil. INFO is a plist holding contextual information."
(format "%s:%s"
(org-element-property :key node-property)
(let ((value (org-element-property :value node-property)))
(if value (concat " " value) ""))))

This sounds good to me. How about allowing also a function
as a value and that function will receive the list of properties
and do with it as it pleases.
I like it!

with the last option as "list of strings or regexp's" this would be
exactly what I would have needed in some practical use cases, and it
seems to be just natural given the dual nature of property drawers
(storage for Org-mode-internal data and storage for use-case related
data).
With 'strings or regexp's' I mean that it should be possible to match on
key-prefixes, like FOO in the following example
* My Header
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ABC123
:FOO_BAR: 13
:FOO_FOO: bar bar
:END:
no matter if the user actually has to give a regexp or if ox.el takes care of
bulding a regexp from a given string like
,----------------------------------------------
| (let ((rgxp (concat strg "[_-[:word:]]*"))))
`----------------------------------------------
or so...

At first I thought about it but I realized that was exactly what
a filter could do. Do we need to introduce redundancy here?

Not really. It would simplify processing to have the list instead
of a string, but indeed, a filter can accomplish all of it.

I hardly ever use export, but: AFAIR, properties can be used to provide
data for the spreadsheet. Exporting with them would be very useful for
educational material (my use case: loan payment table with data like
interest rate etc. in properties).

Hi,
this does look good to me, except that the customize type of
org-export-with-properties needs to be extended to allow for the
list of strings.
Please just go ahead and apply it to master, then I and hopefully others will test it further.
