Hi all and sorry about the complicated topic :)

among the many many many things i use org for is to collect cooking recipes
:)

i have zero coding knowledge and my emacs understanding is limited :)

what i basically wanted to ask is if anyone could show me a simple function
(at least it seems like it should be simple ;-) to allow me to stand on a
org heading (a single recipe) press a hotkey/issue a command and then have
that header+content exported to pdf/html and emailed to a specific address
so i can view it on my android tablet in kitchen while i cook :)
is it to crazy?

thx alot in advance

z.

You haven't said what version of org you are using.  Assuming you are up
to date, i.e. version 8, you can export a subtree to PDF by

   M-x org-export-dispatch RET C-s l p

you can then send the PDF to yourself however you wish.

Alternatively, if you use Emacs to send your emails, i.e. with
message-mode, the following two commands will do the job nicely, sending
an HTML message (not my choice normally):

M-x org-mime-subtree RET
M-x org-mime-htmlize RET
C-c C-c

HTH,
eric
