export (to gfm) with file local variables

export (to gfm) with file local variables

[Andreas Leha]

Hi all,

How can I make my toy sample file below export properly to github
flavoured markdown (using ox-gfm)?

(Of course including the file local variables in exported *.md file...)

If I try I get
,----
| hack-local-variables: Malformed local variable line: ""
`----

Thanks,
Andreas


PS: the sample file
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+md: <!-- Some Comment -->

* Test File

With text.


#+md: <!--
#+md: Local Variables:
#+md:  mode: gfm
#+md:  markdown-command: "marked"

Add a noexport section with a control-L as contents at the end.
Emacs only looks at the last "page" of the file for local variables
so the control-L will stop it.

Thanks!  That is amazing!  That solves my second problem.  So, the
original *.org file is indeed opened in Org mode.  Nice.


Now I still need to know how to export to github flavoured markdown
(gfm) with the file local variables set.  This still fails with
,----
| hack-local-variables: Malformed local variable line: ""
`----

Any help with that?

For reference, here is my test org file again:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+md: <!-- Some Comment -->

* Test File

With text.


#+md: <!--
#+md: Local Variables:
#+md:  mode: gfm
#+md:  markdown-command: "marked"
#+md: End:
#+md: -->
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Andreas

That seems to be caused by the empty lines in the Local Variables:
section of the md file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<div id="table-of-contents">
<h2>Table of Contents</h2>
<div id="text-table-of-contents">
<ul>
<li><a href="#orgheadline1">1. Test File</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

<!-- Some Comment -->

# Test File<a id="orgheadline1"></a>

With text.

<!--

Local Variables:

mode: gfm

markdown-command: "marked"

End:

-->
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If I get rid of them manually, I think it goes away (although I don't
have gfm installed, so it complains about gfm-mode).

That seems to be an ox-md (or perhaps ox-html) issue however and I'm not
equipped to wade into those waters. Assuming this is correct, maybe you
can add a filter to get rid of the empty lines?

Thanks for following that up!  That is interesting.  How did you see
that file with the empty lines?  I do not get anything exported --
neither md nor gfm.

AFAIR, Markdown requires a blank line between elements (e.g.,
paragraphs). I haven't followed the thread, but can't you use

  #+begin_markdown
  ...
  #+end_markdown

instead?

I looked in the " *temp*" buffer (which is normally hidden - note the
initial space), saved it as foo.md and tried to open it: I got the local
variables error.

Thanks a lot.  Something new to learn every day!  That is really useful
to know.

I can.  Thanks a lot.  That works as expected.
