slack syntax exporter/copier

[Matt Price]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1408 bytes --]

A while ago I asked about a slack syntax exporter.  I cpy text from org to
slack often enough that I spent an hour or two today writing a simple one,
which I put up in a  gist:
https://gist.github.com/titaniumbones/c0c171e4df8a6ff5f0f564b8a655c079

If people are interested, I will be happy to package it up & put on melpa
or whatever (would be the first time for me).

I mostly am interested in copy-paste, not in producing permanent files, so
I use it with this simple utility function:

(defun ora-org-export-to-clipboard-as-slack ()
      "Export region to FMT, and copy to the kill ring for pasting into
other programs."
      (interactive)
      (let* ((org-export-with-toc nil)
             (org-export-with-smart-quotes nil))
        (kill-new (org-export-as 'slack) ))
      )
    (global-set-key (kbd "C-c W s") 'ora-org-export-to-clipboard-as-slack)

The "ora" prefix reflects its origins in an old oremacs function that I use
for (much more involved) HTML copy-paste:

SO far it seems OK. There are doubtless still bugs so probably it would be
better to make a repo after all!

Nice, thank you!

Yes, I think it's quite likely that I would use this sometimes, so I'd
love if it was conveniently available.

Best wishes,
   Neil

I've put it up in a repo: https://github.com/titaniumbones/ox-slack

I don't know how to add something to Melpa so that might be a while, I
think I'm running out of personal time :-)

Writing Exporter Tests [was: slack syntax exporter/copier]

[Matt Price]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2850 bytes --]

OK, I have a minimal working example and would like to add some unit tests
to this project, largely as a way to learn more about testing in emacs/org
so that I can start writing tests for some other projects.

However... I don't really understand how to build tests in org (and in fact
I don't really understand ert much at all). Looks like the worg page is
largely a stub. Does anyone have any hints for getting started? Like,
should i be able to use ~testing/test-ox.el~ to test my exporter?

I would like to start doing a better job of developing in elisp, but I am
having trouble getting started on my own, so, once again, I appreciate any
help you cna give!

Thanks,
Matt
