Dear org users,

If I include a file child.org in parent.org using the #+INCLUDE
derivative, and the following two conditions are true:

1. child.org and parent.org are not in the same directory nor share
directory structure,
2. child.org contains file links with relative file paths,

then exporting parent.org will produce a file with broken links.

Is there a way to have org sort this out? Or even make this optional,
say by using:

#+INCLUDE: child.org :fix-paths t

I guess the quickest (but perhaps not cleanest) way to have this
feature would be to convert relative paths in file links into absolute
paths within `org-export-expand-include-keyword`. I'm not that well
versed in Elisp yet to do this yet, though.

Are there any known solutions to this, or suggestions on how to get it working?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

As you suggest, I would use a parse tree filter that turns every
relative file link into an absolute one.

Sorry for the ignorance, but where could I look up how to use a parse
tree filter? And where would these modifications make sense?
Any pointers towards documentation, functions, or any help of any kind
would be appreciated. I must say I am a bit lost.

Thank you in advance,

Daniel

If there is any interest, I've created a patch adding support for a
:absolute-paths functionality.
As I said, I don't have much experience writing Elisp, so any
suggestions on how to improve the code would be appreciated. If there
is any interest in adding this feature to Org I could try to clean it
up.

Patch attached.

Thank you.

Would it make sense to automatically deduce this directory from included
file and apply this automatically?

Currently when passing the :absolute-paths toggle to an include
derivative, as in :

#+INCLUDE: file.org :absolute-paths t

The function `org-export--prepare-file-contents` will automatically
deduce the directory from file.org and adapt links by calling:
`(new-path (expand-file-name old-path (file-name-directory file)))`.
I could either make this a default option, such that links get
corrected but users can overwrite this by calling `:absolute-paths
nil`, or I could completely remove this toggle and always correct
links no matter what.

One question regarding the implementation, currently I'm deleting the
link with a call to `delete-region` and using `(insert "[[file:"
new-path "]]")` to insert the corrected one. This does not take into
consideration whether links are bracketed or not ( is there a
functional difference if links are not bracketed?). Also, my approach
completely disregards link descriptions, which may be relevant if the
linked file would be, for example, an html document.  Would there be a
cleaner org approach to replace the path keeping the description?

Thank you.

Regards,
Daniel

I am wondering about the latter. If there is no reason to keep broken
file names, it makes sense to automatically apply it.

Also, rewriting needs not be always absolute path, if both directories
share a common root.

Yes. White spaces are handled differently in each link type.

You could check :contents-begin and :contents-end for the link. If they
are not nil, extract this region, and insert it again in the new link.

I've adapted the code such that it handles both bracketed and
unbracketed links, and links with descriptions.
As it is now, the changes are always automatically applied.

> Also, rewriting needs not be always absolute path, if both directories

I couldn't find a simple way of rewriting links without making them
absolute, as `org-export--prepare-file-contents` does not have access
to the path of the including file, only of the included file.

`org-export--prepare-file-contents' is called from the including
document, so you can get its path with (buffer-file-name
(buffer-base-buffer)).

However, we need to handle the case where the including buffer is not
associated to a file, i.e., the Sexp above returns nil.

It would be nice to add a comment explaining what we are going to do.

I suggest the following inner part:

    (when (string= "file" (org-element-property :type link))
      (let* ((old-path (org-element-property :path link))
             (new-path (expand-file-name old-path (file-name-directory file))))
        (delete-region (org-element-property :begin link)
                       (org-element-property :end link))
        (insert (let ((new (org-element-copy link)))
                  (org-element-put-property new :path new-path)
                  (when (org-element-property :contents-begin link)
                    (org-element-adopt-elements new
                      (buffer-substring (org-element-property :contents-begin link)
                                        (org-element-property :contents-end link))))
                  (org-element-interpret-data new)))))
              
Also, would you mind adding a test in "text-ox.el", within
`test-org-export/expand-include'?

I noticed that (buffer-file-name (buffer-base-buffer)) will always
return nil because `org-export--prepare-file-contents` is called in
`org-export-include-keyword` after a call to `with-temp-buffer`. Two
possible solutions to this issue would be either 1. passing the
includer-file as an extra parameter to
`org-export--prepare-file-contents` and then using
`file-relative-name` to generate a relative path, or alternatively 2 .
passing the matched string that points to the file to be included.
Example:

#+INCLUDE: "directory/file.org"

Here, if file.org contains a link [[other/image.png]], then all one
has to do is append the (file-name-directory matched) to the old-path.
In this example this would result in directory/other/image.png.

This second solution does not require a call to (buffer-file-name
(buffer-base-buffer)), but seems hackish in the sense that we would
pass 2 redundant arguments to `org-export-prepare-file-contents`: both
the expanded and the non-expanded include-file filename.
Perhaps I'm missing a simpler 3rd solution?

Of course.

    ;; Adapt all file links within the included document that

I noticed that the call to delete here will break
`org-element-adopt-elements` later on since the real buffer positions
will be changed and we are still querying for old, invalid positions
stored in link.

If we opt for solution 1 then new-path could be made relative here
>                  ;; (org-element-put-property new :path new-path)

(org-element-put-property
               new :path
               (if includer-file
               (file-relative-name
                new-path (file-name-directory includer-file))
             new-path))

Deleting immediately before the insertion works.
    (delete-region (org-element-property :begin link)
                           (org-element-property :end link))

I will attempt to write them once the implementation is completed.

Thanks for the support.

I think solution 1 is fine.

Indeed. However, the (if includer-file ...) should be integrated in
new-path binding, IMO.

Great. Thank you!

I've fixed the implementation of 
`org-export--prepare-file-contents` so
that links are relative to the included file. A patch is attached.

I've also created two org files in the test examples directory:
"includer-with-links.org" and "subdir/includee-with-links.org". My 
goal
was to add a test in "test-ox.el" `test-org-export/expand-include` 
that
checks whether, after exporting the "includer-with-links.org" file 
to
Org, the headings *Source and *Target are the same.

I did not figure out how to do this cleanly, so any help 
implementing
the test itself would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Daniel

I applied your patch and wrote a few tests. Let me know if it works for
you.

BTW, what's your status wrt FSF papers? I don't remember if you have
signed them already.

Thank you!
