#+include and org-export-before-processing-hook

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello,

I have a particular function that I want to invoke when exporting an org
file.  This works just fine, adding this function to the
org-export-before-processing-hook, for simple org files.  However, if I
have an org file which uses #+include: to include other org files, it
seems like the processing doesn't happen on included files.

How can I get the function in the hook to process included files?  In
other words, I wish to process the complete org file that results from
incorporating the include files.

I have tried both
#+include: included.org
and
#+include: included.org src org
and neither works.

Thank you,
eric

I have the same problem with a function that I wrote to not export
certain footnotes, and to date I have not been able to fix it. According
to the `org-export-before-processing-hook' docstring:

" *This is run before include keywords and macros are expanded*
and Babel code blocks executed, on a copy of the original buffer
being exported.  Visibility and narrowing are preserved.  Point
is at the beginning of the buffer.

There is also `org-export-before-parsing-hook'.

<blush> missed this.  Thank you both.  Using the right hook allows me to
do what I wanted perfectly!

As always, if there's something I want to do in org, the feature is
already there.  It is simply that I am not so good at finding it...  :-)

Thanks again,
eric
