Re: getting access to a self-invented option?

Hi,

I am not sure where you are trying to get to the value (in the
publishing function?), but I use something like the following to handle
custom keywords:

,----
| #+MWP_EXPORT_TYPE: slides
|
| #+name: elt
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent :exports none
| (let ((tree (org-element-parse-buffer)))
|   (org-element-map
|       tree 'keyword
|     (lambda (r)
|       (let ((key (org-element-property :key r))
|             (value (org-element-property :value r)))
|         (when (string= key "MWP_EXPORT_TYPE")
|           value))) ;; Return the keyword value
|     nil t))
| #+end_src
`----

If you have access to the parsed tree or the buffer filename, you may be
able to use this or something similar (maybe wrapped in a function).

Hope it helps.

  I'm trying to streamline some veyr ad-hoc workflows I have. One thing I do
  a lot during the school year is make some changes to an org source file,
  and then export to hugo markdown with ox-hugo, and finally commit to git
  (after that I have a git hook that generates the website & uploads the
  changed pages to the appropriate location, usually a github-pages branch or
  separate repo).

  So I have this code:

  (defun mwp-hugo-export-and-release ()
    "Make it faster and easier to put my lectures up on the website."
    (interactive)

    (let* ((modfile (org-hugo-export-wim-to-md))
           (basedir (plist-get  (org-export-get-environment 'hugo)
  ':hugo-base-dir ))
           (default-directory (expand-file-name basedir)))
      (magit-stage-file modfile)
      ;; (magit-status)
      (magit-commit-create)
      )  )

  It works great, I'm very happy. HOWEVER: in my websites I have two kinds of
  outputs:

  - regular pages -- these get exported to .md files and turned into html by
  hugo
  - lecture notes -- these get exported to reveal.js HTML pages by
  org-re-reveal and my hugo theme treats them differently .

  I would really like to set a switch somewhere in the file, something like:

  #+MWP_EXPORT_TYPE: slides

  And then something like

  let* ((modfile (if (eq :mwp-export-type "slides")
  (mwp-hugo-reveal-custom-export-function)
                                 (org-hugo-export-wim-to-md)))
       ....etc)
              do stuff)


  But I'm not sure how to get access to a totally non-standard option like
  the kind I just invented in that last bit of pseudo-code. Anyone have a
  good suggestion?

  Thank you as always!
