Subject: export (as latex) a large number of org files in a directory
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 07:11:06 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <894242.15667.qm@web39706.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)

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)

  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
