Outut file name by backend

Outut file name by backend

Hi,

Could it be made possible that the output file name when exporting be
chosen by backend ?
Something like :

:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: (by-backend (latex "PDFL2A/pdf/pdl2a.tex) (html
"PDFL2A/projets.html"))

Am I missing another option here ?

Best regards,

Fabrice

Could you use ox-publish?

Possibly yes, I'm not sure.

Actually, I find it easier to write  a couple of elisp functions to 
export a bunch of org files as a web site. I handle my courses material 
this way. I have web pages (ox-html), slides (ox-reveal) and pdf files 
(ox-latex). Sometimes I would like to produce both a pdf file and an 
html file from the same org subtree.

When I will have time, I'll take a look at ox-publish again. In the 
meantime, I think that it would be more flexible to allow the exported
filename to be computed. OTOH, it is unsafe/unsecure.

I must add that there is one difference between my setup and ox-publish : I
use PROPERTIES to
parametrize my exports in several ways. I create several html pages and pdf
files from subtrees.
These pages need some navigation to be defined and I collect it by scanning
the org  file. I assemble the menu for the
pages from this information. I'm not sure I could do that with ox-publish.

It seems that if the pub-dir variable is bound at the time of export, then
it is taken into account as
the export dir. However I find it by reading the code. I expect that it is
something that could change
over time.
