Macros in included file not expanded in batch export

Macros in included file not expanded in batch export

Hi,

I am trying to export to LaTeX in batch mode, but it seems the exporter
ignores macros defined in included files when exporting in batch mode.

I tried to export like this:

  $ emacs --eval "(require 'ox-latex)" include-test.org \
        --eval '(org-LaTeX-export-to-latex nil nil nil t)' -f kill-emacs

  $ emacs --batch --eval "(require 'ox-latex)" include-test.org \
        --eval '(org-LaTeX-export-to-latex nil nil nil t)'

The first one exports correctly, the second doesn't.  The org files, and
the good and bad exported TeX files are attached.

Can someone else reproduce this?

Thanks,

I haven't tried it but --batch implies -q, so it may be that the second
form is missing something essential from your init file - maybe?

Indeed!  I wasn't aware --batch implies -q, I had checked the man page
before using it, but it isn't there.  Probably it is hidden somewhere in
the manual.

Although, I can't think of what config it must be.  As far as I recall I
do not have anything related to include files or macro expansion.

Anyway, thank you :).

Cheers,

In case you or others want a simplified command-line version of such
conversion tools, you can have a look at my Orgmk project on GitHub [1].

It provides you with:

- org2html [OPTION] FILE
- org2latex [OPTION] FILE
- org2pdf [OPTION] FILE
- org2beamerpdf [OPTION] FILE
- org2odt [OPTION] FILE
- org2txt [OPTION] FILE
- org-tangle FILE

stand-alone scripts, and the `orgmk' wrapper (to convert all files
which need to in a directory, and possibly recursively).

Best regards,
Fabrice
