org-export-blocks

[Simon Mullis]

Hi All,

I'm looking at org-export-blocks; specifically exporting ascii
diagrams with ditaa.

I've got my diagram, I'm in org-mode. How can I actually start the
export?  C-c C-e does not give me the option to export anything other
than "the usual suspects" (html, calendar, ascii etc etc)... I know
the diagram works fine running ditaa directly.

I'm using org-mode 6.14 and Gnu/Emacs 23.0.91.1(Ubuntu Jaunty)

Thanks in advance for any pointers or tips

SM

Actually, you just export you whole org file to whatever format you like
(provided it can handle your diagram) and your diagram will
automatically be included in the resulting file.

HTH,

Hi,

Fixed...

I had to add

"(load "/usr/share/org-mode/lisp/org-exp-blocks.el")"

to my .emacs

Thanks

Haha!

Interesting comment.  I did try it for about 20 minutes but the sheer
effort involved with stopping the decade-reinforced, Tourette-like
hand spasms (":", ":wq"  and so on) made this much more tricky for me.
 In the end I printed out a couple of Emacs cheat sheets and pinned
them up next to monitors.... That and a few weeks of _only_ Emacs and
I was OK.

Another interesting element of the whole experience was migrating from
Ruby to using Python exclusively at the same time...

It was an interesting few weeks!

I have to be honest, I now wish I'd given Emacs more of a chance years ago.

Next the aim is to see how much of all my other tools I can replace
with Emacs (already using Gnus, org-mode etc).

The convention is to "require" a feature rather than to load a file:

  (require 'org-exp-blocks)

The feature 'org-exp-blocks is provided by the library at the end:

  (provide 'org-exp-blocks)

HTH,

PS: welcome to the light side...

I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but I found this pretty funny....

I was using Vim today (which I still occassionally do) and could not
figure out why my save wasn't working for the doc I was editing.
After numerous attempts, I looked down and saw my fingers were trying
"C-x C-s"...

That's a first for me!

After weeks/months of trying not to use Vim :wq in Emacs I am now no
longer able to use anything but Notepad..
