org-list-to-subtree strange behaviour

org-list-to-subtree strange behaviour

[Robert Klein]

Hi,

I'm trying to use org-list-to-subtree in a publishing projects
sitemap-function.

However, the org-list-to-subtree function only returns the first entry.

That is, when I run

(org-list-to-subtree  l '(:istart "** "))

after setting the variable l (see below, I didn't want the
120+ lines interrupting this text) , I get this result:


"**   [[file: openbsd-pxe.org][OpenBSD deployment via PXE]]
#+begin_article-info
#+BEGIN_date
2017-09-10
#+END_date
#+BEGIN_tags
OpenBSD, PXE, Installation, Deployment
#+END_tags
#+begin_article-info

"

where I expected all nine entries in the list.


It works for simple lists, e.g.

  (setq l '(unordered
            ("alpha")
            ("beta")
            ("gamma")))

results in

"** alpha
** beta
** gamma"

which is about what I expect.

Any Ideas?


Thank you very much!

Best regards
Robert

This is because L is not a valid list. In particular, it contains two
consecutive blank lines, which breaks the list.
