Hello fellow Orgers,

I need a function, which – given an org file's name – opens it silently,
exports to a file, and closes.

I can write it myself, but maybe such a function already exists?  It
seems that `org-export-to-file' exports the current buffer, so I could
make a new buffer, `insert-file-contents' the given file to it, turn on
`org-mode', do my export and close the buffer (probably using
`with-temp-buffer' in the first place) – but is it really necessary to
code it, or is it ready somewhere in Org?

TIA,

This is the core part of the code which would do that:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert-file-contents orgfile)
    (setq htmlcontents (org-export-as 'html))
    (delete-region (point-min) (point-max))
    (insert htmlcontents)
    (buffer-string))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards,
  Seb
