Subject: Re: Including source when exporting in PDF
Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:06:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACjB3ds0M142_3PVs0p8Nu0nhO2wKQz11ZmAyMv9uvgATB7hHg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4F0DAAAC.50607@gmail.com>

To include multiple files, I export all of the required files before
the PDF creation and zip them. This way, I only need to include a
single zip file.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
;; various exports
 (save-window-excursion
      (org-export-as-ascii org-export-headline-levels))
    (save-window-excursion
      (org-export-as-html org-export-headline-levels))

;;zip the required files
(let ((filename (file-name-sans-extension (file-name-nondirectory
(buffer-file-name)))))
      (shell-command
       (concat "zip " filename ".zip "
               (mapconcat '(lambda (arg) arg)
                (remove-if
                 '(lambda (filename)
                    (string-match "\\.$\\|\\.pdf$\\|\\.atfi$\\|#" filename))
                 (directory-files (file-name-directory (buffer-file-name))))
                " "))))
#+END_SRC

(I've added this code in a babel block to evaluate just before the PDF export.)

As you can see, I make sure I don't include a previous PDF, or any
other useless file.

If you wish to add only a single type of file, simply replace
"remove-if" by "remove-if-not" and change the value in the
string-match function. For example, "\\.$\\|\\.pdf$\\|\\.atfi$\\|#"
would become "\\.lisp$" to include all your exported lisp files.

Hope this helps!


By the way, I can't get the code block to be evaluated automatically
when I export to PDF, any clue on how to do that?
