[bug] error in html export: backend not defined

[bug] error in html export: backend not defined

[Eric S Fraga]

Hi,

I notice that there has been a recent commit which affects export of org
files.   I have just needed to export an org file to HTML and get the
following error:

: if: Symbol's value as variable is void: backend

The backtrace is:

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable backend)
|   (eq backend (quote html))
|   (if (eq backend (quote html)) (progn (org-exp-bibtex-docites [...]
|   (when (eq backend (quote html)) (org-exp-bibtex-docites [...]
|   (save-window-excursion (setq oebp-cite-plist [...]
|   org-export-bibtex-preprocess()
|   run-hooks(org-export-preprocess-hook)
|   org-export-preprocess-string( [...] )
|   org-export-as-html(nil)
|   call-interactively(org-export-as-html)
|   org-export(nil)
|   call-interactively(org-export nil nil)
`----

For now, I am going to disable the invocation of the bibtex
preprocessing as this appears to be the only place that =backend=
appears.

thanks,
eric

It's likely that the only thing needed is to rename backend to
org-export-current-backend in contrib/lisp/org-exp-bibtex.el.
See commit 99675ffead44e32f4959909a657b88831fe33703.

Yes, I think so.  Bastien?  

Just to confirm, removing the bibtex preprocessing did do the job for
me, but only because that particular org file had no citations...

thanks,

Hi Eric,

Sorry I just pushed a fix before seeing your patch - also we need to add

  (defvar org-export-current-backend) 

in the file to keep the compiler happy.

Thanks for spotting this and for the patch!
