Patches for org-generic-export

Patches for org-generic-export

[Robert P. Goldman]

Attached is a set of patches to the org-generic-exporter.  They fix a
change in the org-preprocess process that means that all uses of the
org-generic export facility will crash.  They also add rudimentary
support for trac wiki and tikiwiki export.  Finally, I have removed
the HTML exporter from the org-generic export.  I don't see any reason
to struggle to support this, since it is done better by the core parts
of org-mode.

Cheers,

Glad to see someone tinkering with it!  yay!

FYI, the reason the HTML was in there was for proof of concept more than
anything else.  It was a learning example for those wishing to write
their own exports, as HTML is known by lots of people and demonstrated
what you could do with it.  [especially if you wanted hand-crafted html]

Could you test Robert's patches against latest Org and report 
any problem?  As the author of the generic exporter, you might
spot problems more easily...

Thanks!

I think they looked fine without intense study, and I trust him to fix
bugs that come his way :-)

Anyway, I really like the idea of an exporter test regression suite.
Now....  we just need to make that happen!

The only challenge I see is the matcher.  That is, I can create a test
document, based on Jambunathan's, but I don't know the best way to write
the tests.  I suppose some form of regular expression is The Right Thing.

There must be a better solution, though --- I figure someone must have a
good way to match text files against expectations.  I just don't know
what that way is.

cheers,

Hm.  Well, we could certainly just skip that patch, and apply only the
others to org-mode, if we want to keep it.

The problem with doing that is that when I am fixing things (e.g., I am
working to make links work with various wiki export formats), I don't
have the energy to maintain the HTML backend.  So it's likely to
bit-rot, which would make it turn into a /bad/ exemplar.

What do you think?

I think also we should try to assemble a single org document with all
kinds of markup that are expected to work, and use that to make tests.
An export facility is actually easy to regression test....  I just
haven't gotten around to it.  Do you know if there is such a document
for one of the other exporters that I could piggyback on?

Best,
r

This is a very nice test file.

Jambunathan, do you have an idea on how could we integrate an export
test suite into org-mode/test/, using ERT and (part of) your file?

Re: OPatches for org-generic-export

[Bastien]

Hi Robert,

I applied your first two patches, but 3-4-5 don't apply against 
current HEAD.

I agree with Wes it's good to have a minimal example on how to use
org-export-generic and HTML is the right choice for that; but I also
agree with you that this example should not be presented as a core
function of the exporter, this creates a useless maintainance burden.

Could you submit a patch to document this HTML exporter on Worg ?  

Then I will reapply your last three patches, once you resent them 
to me.  Please also provide correct ChangeLogs.

Thanks a lot!
