New LaTeX exporter and #+call:

New LaTeX exporter and #+call:

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Nicolas,

#+call: lines appear to flummox the new LaTeX exporter.

This exports as I expect:

#+caption[Old wood]: Old wood graph.
#+label: fig:old-wood
#+results: old-wood[:file old-wood.pdf]():results file
[[file:old-wood.pdf]]

But this yields "\url{file://nil}":

#+call: old-wood[:file old-wood.pdf]() :results file
#+caption[Old wood]: Old wood graph.
#+label: fig:old-wood
#+results: old-wood[:file old-wood.pdf]():results file
[[file:old-wood.pdf]]

Similarly with tables, where export with the #+call: line looks like this:

\label{tab:old-wood}
\begin{verbatim}
nil
\end{verbatim}

All the best,
Tom

It doesn't matter here, but #+label ought to be to #+name in the new
exporter.

I cannot reproduce the problem. It may be an hiccup in your "old-wood"
src-block, which you didn't provide.

You may try to eval:

  (let ((org-current-export-file (current-buffer))) (org-export-blocks-preprocess))

in a copy of the buffer you're trying to export. It will reveal what the
parser really see. Is there anything suspicious?

Interesting.  If I evaluate org-export-blocks-preprocess, all looks well
and the resulting buffer exports correctly with org-export-dispatch.
The evaluated results of the #+call: lines are present in the
preprocessed buffer, and the #+call: lines themselves are gone.

Apparently, something else happens when the original buffer is exported
with org-export-dispatch. This route appears to ignore the evaluated
results of the #+call: lines and instead uses the results of a new call.
This was failing for me because I'd set :eval no-export on the source
code blocks after I'd evaluated the #+call: lines in the buffer,
thinking that the exporter would find the results and use them.

Thanks for your help, and apologies for the noisy posts.

All the best,
Tom
