I can't get it to do anything... C-h v shows that org-publish-projects-alist has the value (("website" :base-directory "~/website/" :publishing-directory "~/pub_html/website/" :section-numbers nil :table-of-contents nil)) The directory ~/website exists and contains a trivial org syntax file called root.org ('* hello' followed by a newline) The directory ~/pub_html/website exists. I was expecting org-publish website, and C-c C-e X website (incidentally the X is erroneously down as a C in the documentation node 13.3) to result in a file called root.html being written to ~/pub_html/website, but that directory remains empty, despite repeated invocations of the same commands... I know I'm being stupid... how, please? Cheers, Dan Org-mode version 6.06pre01 I've tried with and without the trailing slashes on the base/publishing-directory values, the documentation shows trailing slashes I've tried manually expanding ~, to no avail. (But I believe ~ should be fine as it is)
