Can’t include file with babel

Can’t include file with babel

[Rasmus]

Hi,

I am stitching together a number of documents to produce a report.

I though I’d be clever and include subfile headings in the right order at
the right place using babel.

I do something like

    * Appendix to chapter N
    #+call: include-between(file="other-paper.org", first="appendix1", last="appendix3") :results value raw

Producing

    #+RESULTS:
    #+include: "other-paper.org::*appendix1" :minlevel 2
    #+include: "other-paper.org::*appendix2" :minlevel 2
    #+include: "other-paper.org::*appendix3" :minlevel 2


This doesn’t work seem to work, I guess because #+include is expanded
before anything else.

Should it be possible to include stuff like this using Babel or is it too
circular?

Thanks,
Rasmus

Correct.

The latter.

You can generate programmatically parts of the document with
`org-export-before-processing-hook'.

That is what I suspected, and I’d probably agree.  It’s no issue, really.

(I also considered rearranging headings based on tags with a tree filter,
 but that is even more convoluted than the above approach).
