For example, I have an exporter derived from the LaTeX backend which basically is: - the (org-export-define-derived-backend ...) call - a renamed copy of org-latex-template modified by adding - five lines of comment - five times three lines of code - a copy of the end-user functions of the LaTeX exporter, - the functions renamed for the derived exporter - 'latex inside them replaced for the derived exporter - a couple of comment lines explaining the derived exporter On the other side, I have another derived exporter (from the HTML backend, this time) with way more of I've written myself, but still the end-user functions of the html backend (-export-as-html, -convert-regino-to-html, -export-to-html, and -publish-to-html) copied, renamed and 'html replaced inside those functions. Should I copy the authors of the backends I derived from into my file(s)? I'd rather not leave them out, but, on the other hand, maybe they don't want to be associated with my sometimes paltry attempts at coding. Thank you very much for your advice. Best regards Robert
