export comments in LaTeX ?

export comments in LaTeX ?

[e20100633]

Hello,

I found in the manual that commented lines will *not* be exported.

But I'd like to know if there's a hook around allowing to export
comments from org-mode to LaTeX (I mean, comments will appear in the
dvi/pdf in some way).

I have bunch of files in org-mode with comments, and I need to see the
comments in my finals pdfs. For now, I just add them by hand in my .tex
files and I surround them in boxes but it take me hours...

So maybe there's a way to tell org-mode to treat comments as quotes or
something ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Hi,

Maybe you can easily regexp-replace all 'COMMENT' keywords for a tag
(like :noexport:).

Then there are header options for tags which should be included /
excluded on export.

     #+EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS:   Tags that select a tree for export
     #+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS:  Tags that exclude a tree from export

Ok, you mean for each commented line I have to put a tag which give me
that result for example ? :

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# This is a comment line.                           :mytag:
# And this is an other comment line                 :mytag:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then I'll just use the EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS ?

Hum very interesting, I'll give it a try, thank you for your answer :)

Just note that tags work on _headings_, not on a line by line basis as
you suggest below:

Example:

8<------------------------------------------------------------
#+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: privatnote

** This will get exported sometimes   :privatenote:
   Hi there!

8<------------------------------------------------------------

On top of other solutions already mentioned, see also this hook:

,----[ org-export-preprocess-hook ]
| Hook for preprocessing an export buffer.
| Pretty much the first thing when exporting is running this hook.
| Point will be in a temporary buffer that contains a copy of
| the original buffer, or of the section that is being export.
| All the other hooks in the org-export-preprocess... category
| also work in that temporary buffer, already modified by various
| stages of the processing.
`----

You can set this hook to a function that toggles the COMMENT keyword or
the :noexport: tag, or convert inline comments (#) to #+begin_example
sections.

The hook operates on a temporary buffer so it's safe for your org file.

HTH,
