Each first-level subtree (*) is a new study. I need to be able to export any given first-level tree on its own, with an output pdf file name different from the main org filename, and with a title perhaps different from the * headline. And I need to execute R code as it exports. I am running org-mode 7.7 on Windows XP A sample org file to illustrate the problem looks like this: ------------------------------------------ * goodbye foo foo * Hello :PROPERTIES: :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: TestMyBabelSetup :EXPORT_TITLE: foobar :EXPORT_AUTHOR: Christopher W. Ryan, MD MS :RESULTS: output :EXPORTS: both :END: foo #+begin_src R rnorm(3) #+end_src -------------------------------------------- When I export the whole file to pdf, everything works fine. But if I try to export just the * Hello tree, then I get an error: Args out of range: "", -1, 0 If I remove anything relating to R and babel from the * Hello tree, leaving just this: ----------------------------------------------- * goodbye foo foo * Hello :PROPERTIES: :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: TestMyBabelSetup :EXPORT_TITLE: foobar :EXPORT_AUTHOR: Christopher W. Ryan, MD MS :END: foo ------------------------------------------------- then exporting just the * Hello treee works as expected. I'm stumped. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. --Chris -- Christopher W.
