Thanks! This is very helpful.
I have a related question. How can I run an external program right before
Export that takes as input the current buffer and prints out to stdout an
updated version of the org file that then is exported? Basically I want to
pipe the org file through a filter that is an external program before it
is exported.
Thanks in advance!
