Dear list,

I am using org-mode more and more everyday, congrats to the community for
such a great program!!

I would like to automate the generation of PDF/HTML/ODT... thorough a
command line with a makefile.  Something like:

file.pdf:  file.org
	<generation_command_here>

Is there a way to externally launch, let's say org-latex-export-to-pdf from
outside Emacs?.  Maybe through a script.

Probably this is more an Emacs-list question than an org-mode one but any
suggestion here will be welcome.

Cheers and thanks in advance for any suggestion.

	Miguel

I use a Makefile to export to latex, then I use pdflatex to compile
the final version. Org does the same thing if you ask it to go
straight to PDF, but this lets me include my revision number.

This also launches my pdf viewer (xpdf), and works for every .org file
in the directory.

Makefile:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
.PHONY: all clean

OBJS := $(patsubst %.org, %.pdf, $(wildcard *.org))

CRAP := $(patsubst %.org, %.pdf, $(wildcard *.org))
CRAP += $(patsubst %.org, %.aux, $(wildcard *.org))
CRAP += $(patsubst %.org, %.log, $(wildcard *.org))
CRAP += $(patsubst %.org, %.out, $(wildcard *.org))
CRAP += $(patsubst %.org, %.toc, $(wildcard *.org))

all: $(OBJS)

clean:
	rm -f $(CRAP)

%.tex: %.org
	emacs -batch \
		-load ~/.emacs \
		--eval '(setq enable-local-variables :all)' \
		--visit=$< \
		-f org-export-as-latex \

%.pdf: %.tex
	pdflatex "\\def\\Revision {`bzr version-info --custom --template=\"{revno}\" $<`}" "\\input{$<}"
	pdflatex "\\def\\Revision {`bzr version-info --custom --template=\"{revno}\" $<`}" "\\input{$<}"
	xpdf $@

FWIW, I've written small standalone scripts (such as org2pdf, org2html,
org2odt, etc.) to automate such tasks.

If you're interested, have a look at https://github.com/fniessen/orgmk.

Best regards,
Fabrice
