error when exporting org to html

error when exporting org to html

[Rainer Stengele]

I have a problem exporting html and directly browsing the exported file.
I have my org file in a indirect buffer,

Pressing "C-c C-e b" results in:

Exporting... [2 times]
save-restriction: Args out of range: 0, 1

org version: 6.21b
GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-01-12 on LENNART-69DE564
(patched)

Can anybody give me a hint?


By the way, I always run into this task:
I have a very large org file and want to export a specific region to html.
The highest org-level of the region is for example "6" "******".
Exporting results "correctly" in "high" HTML header levels and "strange"
formatting formatting.
I would like to automatically export to "level 1".
What I now do is copy the region in a new org file. move the level to "1" = "*"
and export then. Bad workaround ...
Anybody has a suggestion?

Rainer

I thik the HTML exporter has some problems,
as I pointed out.
Carsten answered [1] and I'm pretty sure he will 
resolve this issue.

For now I think we should (as he suggested)

1. manually create a new file with the subheading
2. export with 
   C-c C-e h
..
Ah, he didn't say, but I'm convinced 
he will be *really* happy, if we patch orgmode ;-)

cheers

Did I say this?  No.  I said, use `C-c C-e h', and I meant doe
this in the file, after selecting.... :-)

(load pedantic-mode) ;-)

Yes, yes, in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-02/msg00069.html
you said: 

> > try exporting with `C-c C-e h' instead of

So:

1. I selected the region with C-c @ and the I did 
   C-c C-e h

->    and I found the *whole* file exported.

2. I selected the region with C-SPC (goto last 
   character of the region)    M-w
   C-c C-e h
 
-> and still the *whole* file has been exported

3. I selected the region C-SPC M-w then 
   C-c C-e R
   then saved the html buffer

-> and finally the region has been exported!

....Mmmmm....

Regarding the issue of the subheadings, I found that,
if the region begins with sublevel
higher than 3, the region is exported 
as a list and not with numbered headings:
-------------------------------------
  o 2nd
    * 3rd
      Bye!
          o very complicated!!!!! 
-----------------

If the region has the first sublevel equal to tree
it is exported like:
-----------------------------
1 boh

    * 2nd
          o 3rd
            Bye!
                + very complicated!!!!! 
--------------------------------------


For this reason I suggested Rainer to open a new file
and rearrange the headings accordingly. 
I did the same thing yesterday. 

(unload pedantic-mode)

Giovanni

Ah - you don't have transient mark mode set.

Try this:

C-SPC C-SPC

move cursor to highlight the region

and then export.

If you don't have the region explicitly marked (in transient mark mode)
you get the whole file.

HTH,
Bernt

This has always (and still does) work correctly for me. That is, only
the region is exported. Perhaps it is some interaction with your
customizations. Have you turned off transient-mark-mode perhaps?

You can change that with, for example:

#+OPTIONS:   H:6

However, there are certainly issues with the html headers when
exporting a sub-tree. I raised this exact point last week
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-01/msg00729.html)
but have not received any answer. I don't know if it just fell through
the cracks or if it is not considered to be a "reasonable question" :)

I meant "headings" (i.e. <h1>, <h6>, etc), not "headers".

No, I think there are some bugs in the html exporter,
but I think Carsten has not yet had the time to 
fix them.

Tomorrow I will try to investigate further to provide him
a pedantic (with transient-mark-mode ;-) & comprehensive 
bug report.

Giovanni

Hi again,

Carsten, I now cannot reproduce the "save-restriction: Args out of range: 0, 1"
error anymore. It is gone after restarting emacs.


I have another little thing:

having this "PROPERTIES" in my org file defined like this:

:PROPERTIES:
#+TITLE: dotNET Statusrunde
#+DATE:      2009-02-03 Dienstag
#+LANGUAGE:  de
#+OPTIONS:   H:7 num:t toc:t \n:t @:t ::t |:t ^:t -:t f:t *:t TeX:t LaTeX:nil
skip:nil d:nil tags:nil timestamp:nil creator:nil autor:nil
#+EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS: export
#+EXPORT_EXCUDE_TAGS: noexport
#+LINK_UP:
#+LINK_HOME:
:END:

after the HTML Export the HTML file still has these two lines in it:


:PROPERTIES:<br/>
:END:<br/>


How can I disable this?


Rainer

Hi, Carsten, hy everyone,

I profoundly apologise for my mistake (both for 
not having enabled t-m-m, as written 
in the manual :-( 
and because I've been sarcastic in my 
previous messages.

So here it is.

-----------------

1. OK
   Export region from the first heading
   C-c @ on the [2009...] heading
   C-c C-e h
   + exports the region OK


2. Wishlist
   Export region from *before* the 2nd heading
   "I'm 1st line 1st heading"
   Select region with C-SPC, M-w or with C-c @
   C-c C-e h
   + exports region
     title: as in #+TITLE
     first line:"I'm 1st line 1st heading"
   + levels:
     2nd level is <h3>, why not <h2>?
     3rd level is <h4> 

2.1. Export region from the 2nd heading
     C-c @ on the 2nd level heading
     C-c C-e h
     + exports the region OK
     + The 2nd heading  becames the title
     + However 
     - 3rd becomes a <h4>
       why not a <h2>?
     - from 4th to end are <ul>

    William Henney pointed out this behaviour [2].
    "I would rather heading 3rd were <h1> and
    that all heading  levels be relative to the
    root of the sub-tree."
[2] 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-01/msg00729.html

  I suspect the exporter rests upon the level of the heading
  (**** is forth even if you exports it as the root)
  and does not consider it as the root of the level.
  The exporter should check the level of the heading 
  and, in case, it should increase such value and the values of the 
  subheadings M- <-
  until the first heading becomes 1.
  (I don't know if such implementation is possible)

3. BUG
   The lines before the first heading are exported
   
   Even if in the #+OPTIONS:  the 'skip lines' is true,
   the lines before the first heading are exported,
   if the file is exported with command
   C-c C-e h
   
   Reported also  from Scott Randby [1]
[1] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-02/msg00164.html
   He said that Org-6.09 worked fine.

4. OK
   The exporter exports a subheading with properties
   in compliance with values defined in properties.
   C-c @
   C-c C-e h

Hope this is complete enough.
cheers

No, this is not possible, and maybe for such a case you
should just go through a separate buffer.  It would be quite
inconsistent to implement this, because the text before
the 2nd heading does not belong to it in any way, it is
part of the of the tree before it.

There is two locations for text that are special:  Before the
first heading, and, when exporting a subtree, text before the
first child.  I believe both are being dealt with correctly
now.
