preparation-function syntax for publishing

preparation-function syntax for publishing

[Julien Barnier]

Dear org users,

I'm trying to use the :preparation-function argument for project
publishing. What I'd like to achieve i s to load a file in order to
define some styling elements for the export process, something such 
as :

(load "org-style")

I tried several different syntaxes, such as :

:preparation-function (load "org-style")

But I didn't manage to achieve it, whichever syntax I try I get an
invalid function error.

Do you know if there is a way to declare such a thing ?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

Sorry to answer to myself, but I just wanted to mention that I found a
quick workaround. You can just create a new function :

(defun my-load-org-style () (load "org-style"))

And then use :

:preparation-function my-load-org-style

I don't know if there is a way to achieve this directly without a new
function declaration, but this way seems to work for me.

:preparation-function (lambda () (load "org-style"))
