While implementing this feature around a month ago, I found
some difficulties... it seemed to me a little counter-intuitive
using a variable like this: should it store the format name? or
a boolean? Also, Sacha is now exporting the last news in four
files with its own formats: most-recent.md (Markdown),
most-recent.org (Org-mode), most-recent.txt (Unicode plain text
according to M-x org-export-dispatch), and most-recent.html
(HTML).
For these reasons, I decided to create a custom variable called
sachac-news-use-git-file which stores the name of the file to
open, instead of storing a boolean or symbol value. It is
easier to understand because the user has to set the filename,
even so, it can be any other file in the repository, for
instance: the index.txt. And, as a side effect, the software
may be used for other repositories and, possibly, other
formats.
Therefore, to implement your suggestion I have just changed its
default value from "most-recent.org" to "most-recent.txt" (see
the code at line 120: [1]). The user may change its value with
M-x customize-option to "most-recent.md" if Markdown is what
they prefer, or "most-recent.org" if Org-mode is best for them.
This feature is explained at the README.org file (see [2]). I
also exported this file into Unicode plain text.
By the way, thanks Sacha for exporting into different
formats!!! I am sorry it adds an extra work to you. It really
makes the implementation easier!
