Hi Bastien
I actually wrote an ant script that controls the off-line publishing.
It's fairly simple, assuming ELPA packages installed in ~/.emacs.d/elpa
Another important thing to note is that font-lock-mode is not enabled by default
in --batch mode. So I ended up writing an extra .el file that is loaded
specifically for off-line publishing.
I'll paste here the relevant fragments to share in case somebody wants to do
something similar
Here are fragments of org.el loaded by emacs --batch command:
(defun common-hook-actions ()
"Peform actions common for all programming language modes"
(font-lock-mode 1)
;; a series of set-face-attribute commands to define the
;; fontification for SRC blocks
(set-face-attribute 'font-lock-builtin-face nil
:slant 'normal
:weight 'normal
:underline nil
:foreground "#FFFFFF")
;; more of the same
)
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(common-hook-actions)))
;; more mode-hooks can be added
(setq org-publish-timestamp-directory "../.org-timestamps/")
;; at this point I have (setq org-publish-project-alist
;; for the projects we need to publish
And this is a fragment of my build.xml:
<target name="find-htmlize"
description="Find the latest installation of emacs htmlize package">
<property environment="env"/>
<exec executable="find"
outputproperty="find-output"
resultproperty="find-result">
<arg value="${env.HOME}/.emacs.d/elpa"/>
<arg value="-type"/>
<arg value="d"/>
<arg value="-name"/>
<arg value="htmlize*"/>
<redirector>
<outputfilterchain>
<tailfilter lines="1"/>
</outputfilterchain>
</redirector>
</exec>
<condition property="htmlize"
value="${find-output}"
else="htmlize">
<available file="${find-output}" type="dir"/>
</condition>
</target>
<target name="publish"
depends="find-htmlize"
description="Generate HTML and save into web directory on the local disk">
<condition property="emacs"
value="/usr/local/bin/emacs"
else="emacs">
<available file="/usr/local/bin/emacs"/>
</condition>
<exec executable="${emacs}" dir="org" failonerror="true">
<arg value="--batch"/>
<arg value="-l"/>
<arg value="org.el"/>
<arg value="--eval"/>
<arg value="(progn (add-to-list 'load-path "${htmlize}") (load-library "htmlize"))"/>
<arg value="-f"/>
<arg value="org-publish-all"/>
</exec>
</target>
All of the above creates completely autonomous publishing project. We actually
use it collaboratively, so other people can checkout the repository, edit org
files, build html (or pdf) from the org project and publish updated content on
the web-server without having to modify their ~/.emacs (or ~/.emacs.d/init.el)
files. Everything is done with two simple shell commands invoking ant.
I hope somebody will find this useful.
Regards,
Dmitri
