bug: "org-export-preprocess-string: Wrong number of arguments" when doing "org-export-as-html"

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

Org-mode 7.9.3f (692f053d8 Wed Feb 27 14:49:46 2013 +0100)

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(org-export-as-html 3 nil nil "htmlized-output" nil nil)
#+END_SRC

results in:

org-export-preprocess-string: Wrong number of arguments:
#[(&optional sort-only) "<a lot of weird characters>"
[org-inlinetask-min-level limit-level org-odd-levels-only nstars
org-outline-regexp count boundp 2 "\\*" format ...] 7
("/home/vk/.emacs.d/contrib/org-mode/lisp/org-footnote.elc" .
16171)], 2

A couple of weeks ago, it worked flawlessly with a single
difference: in between, the first optional parameter HIDDEN was
added. So I added "nil" as well.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

You are trying to use the old exporter and pick up code from an earlier version
of Org.

As I learned the correct name for elisp to use with begin_src is emacs-lisp, not elisp

Oh, thanks for this side-mark. I did not look it up, wrote "elisp",
and babel executed as expected. But good to know. I'll remember now
:-)

Oh, am I? :-O I was not aware of this. Obviously, I am no insider of
emacs-lisp nor the exporting mechanism of Org.

What is the equivalent elisp expression for using the new exporter?

Or should I just wait until Org 8.0 which would not be of any
problem for me now? I know, that these days, a lot of changes are
going on on the exporting parts of Org - which I appreciate very
much!




Background: I was testing a weird idea of mine. Writing a shell
script which uses «emacs -Q --script exportscript.el» for batch
converting an Org-mode file to HTML «from outside» of Emacs.

`org-html-export-to-html' (output to file) and `org-html-export-as-html'
(output to temporary buffer).

For batch processing, you can also use `org-export-as', in conjunction
with `html' backend, which will output a string.

There's also `org-export-string-as', which will do the same as
`org-export-as' but will work from an input string instead of the
current buffer.

org-html-export-to-html instead of old exporter (was: bug: "org-export-preprocess-string: Wrong number of arguments" when doing "org-export-as-html")

Thank you!

Good point - this is quite handy for me as well. Thanks!
