Funny timing. I have used Org for maybe 10 years and just found about
about macros yesterday! I have a spreadsheet with reference
information per work group, coded up some R code to spit out a
tree-per-group, and then wanted to export these 51 documents to their
own PDFs. I've done this before, but got sick of `C-e C-s l p` for
every one so I looked into it. I had no problem doing the following:
- C-x (
- C-e C-s l p C-n
- C-x )
- go to first of my results headlines
- C-u 51 C-x e
It sounds like you already tried this... are you using `C-x (` or are
you defining the macros via elisp? If the latter, can we see the code?
Anything in the Messages buffer? I had an error yesterday and realized
that some of the group names were "Foo/Bar" and since my code titles
the tree's :export_file_name property according to the group name,
emacs was interpreting the `/` in the filename as a directory that
didn't exist.
My suggestion:
- give us a stripped down, beamer file so we can reproduce (maybe with
one non-exporting headline and an analog of your target subtree to
export)
- tell us what you run manually to accomplish your goal
- give us the exact details of your macro setup
