batch exporting

batch exporting

[andrea]

Given that I often would like to export to some formats I would like to
create the final script that handles everything.

If easy enough it can also be useful for non org users that still would
like to get the output formatted...

So my attempt is here
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/bash

# Pass as input the file you want to convert to html

FILE=$1

if ! test -f $FILE
then
    echo "file not found"
else
    echo "converting file $FILE"
    # TODO putting a minimal init file
    emacs --batch \
	--eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \"$HOME/.emacs.d/org-mode/lisp/\")" \
	--load=$HOME/.emacs.d/org-mode/lisp/org.el \
	--visit=MyFile --funcall org-export-as-html-batch
fi

help() {
    echo "pass a file to export"
}

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But it gives this error
*Wrong type argument: commandp, org-export-as-html-batch*

Then I would like to add some flags to export in different formats and
to set destination and source.

And by the way, the script given as example in the function help doesn't
work...

I also tried the scripts from that thread (but it's actually the same
thing), I always get the same error.
What could that mean:

"converting file euler.org
Wrong type argument: commandp, org-export-as-html-batch"

Have you tried (as the installation instructions say)

(require 'org-install)

??

Now it goes a bit further

How can I have more verbose errors by the way?

Further along in the thread I pointed out to you, there is a discussion
of emacs --batch implying emacs -q and how to load your .emacs file.
I believe that't the problem you are having.

Alright I can try, but I don't want to load my configuration every time
I want to export, it's quite big now and it takes some time.
I just want to load only what's necessary to export, and what I've put
should be already enough...

Then prepare a skeleton .emacs just for export and load that:

     emacs --batch --load ~/.skeleton-emacs-for-export ...

Eh eh solved, I was just using the builtin emacs version on snow leopard
(22.1), which for some reasons don't work at all..

This is enough, now I'll have to play with getopt a little bit
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
FILE=$1

EMACS="/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs"

    echo "converting file $FILE"
