Hello,
I believe the info plist should be used ideally, but I cannot figure out
how to tap in new information or update existing information in the `info'
channel used throughout the exporter.
Here's an example:
(1) I am saving the "description" Special Block content to a global var
org-hugo--description:
(defun org-hugo-special-block (special-block contents info)
(let ((block-type (org-element-property :type special-block))
(contents (org-trim contents)))
(cond
((string= block-type "description")
(setq org-hugo--description contents)
nil)
;; -- snip --
)))
(2) Then I am retrieving that saved variable inside a nested function call
in org-hugo-body-filter, where I use it as:
(or org-hugo--description
(org-string-nw-p (plist-get info :description)))
I know that this is very ugly, but it works.
Now I am looking for a way to optimize this bit of code.. to figure out how
to add/update :description in the `info' channel from within
org-hugo-special-block. That way I need to do just the below inside
org-hugo-body-filter:
(org-string-nw-p (plist-get info :description))
Thank you.
Full code:

Some exporter does `plist-put`.
Is that what you are looking for?

Hello Yashi,
I have used plist-put before, but I am not sure it if it sets the plist
values by reference. What I want is to set a plist value in one function,
and retrieve it in another.
That said, I haven't tried plist put/get across functions.. I'll try that
out.
