Hello Nicolas,
Today I was debugging something where a subtree export wasn't recognizing the EXPORT_OPTIONS property set in that subtree.
MWE:
=====
* Top level
** Allow broken links, but mark them
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: allow-broken-links-but-mark-them
:EXPORT_OPTIONS: broken-links:mark
:END:
=====
1. Move cursor to BOL of "** Allow broken links, but mark them" line.
2. M-: (org-export--get-subtree-options)
Output:
(:title (#("Top level" 0 9 (:parent #1))))
Issue: Point is already on a heading, but it is jumping to the parent heading and returning that heading's properties.
Debugging through how the export options got parsed in subtree exports, I reached the `org-export--get-subtree-options' function and this line in there:
(if (org-at-heading-p) (org-up-heading-safe)
(org-back-to-heading t))
It looks like the if condition actions are swapped here.
Should it be:
(if (org-at-heading-p) (org-back-to-heading t) (org-up-heading-safe))
;; If point is in a heading, just go to the BOL
(org-back-to-heading t)
;; Otherwise, jump up to a parent-heading if available.
If I evaluate that function after updating that if condition as above and redo the steps I mentioned above, the output is now what I expect:
(:with-broken-links mark :title (#("Allow broken links, but mark them" 0 33 (:parent #1))))
I am only surprised that this line has been there at least since 2015.
Thanks!
