Agenda export to html error

Agenda export to html error

[Nicolas Goaziou]

Hello,

When I try to export my agenda view to html (C-x C-w test.html), I get
an "Invalid face" error in the minibuffer and no output file. The
Message buffer tells me "face-attribute: Invalid face".

Exporting to postscript works well though.

I have tried with and without setting org-todo-keyword-faces with no
success.

Would anyone have a clue about this problem ?

Thanks,

I think this is caused by a problem with an Emacs component called
htmlize, when used on Emacs 23 (are you using Emacs 23?). Carsten has
put the appropriate new version of htmlize.el into the
org-mode/contrib/lisp directory, to address this problem. So my
suggestion is to try

(add-to-list 'load-path "location/of/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
(require 'htmlize)

and see if that fixes it (The aim is to make sure that the version of
htmlize in org-mode/contrib/lisp gets used as opposed to the version
that comes with Emacs).

I am.

Well, after putting that in my .emacs, byte-compiling htmlize.el *and*
renaming every single file named htmlize.el[c] in my /usr hierarchy, it
now works.

I owe you a thank you.

Though, I still wonder why htmlize.elc in /usr was taking precedence
over the one in the contrib directory, even after I had compiled it.

Check your load-path - sometimes, packages take too many freedoms with
it.

locate-library is also useful to see from where a package is loaded:

   (locate-library "htmlize")

Here is my load-path :

(setq load-path
      (append load-path
              (list
               "~/.emacs.d/elisp"
               "~/.emacs.d/etc"
               "~/.emacs.d/elisp/yasnippet-0.5.10"
               "~/.emacs.d/elisp/org-mode/lisp"
               "~/.emacs.d/elisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp")))

I don't see anything that could be wrong.

You are right. I tend to forget about this function. Alas, in that case,
this will give me the "who" but not the "why".

Well, you are appending your stuff at the end of whatever emacs sets it to,
so it prefers *its* directories over yours.

I also meant that you should ask emacs what *it* thinks its load path is:

  C-h v load-path

That may differ wildly from what you think it is.

As an aside, I think (but I am not sure) that part of the debian/ubuntu
problem that people have been running into is that the convoluted
loading of packages causes load-path to be set in such a way that the
user *cannot* override the setting from his/her own init files; one has
to find and edit/delete system files (in /etc/emacs or thereabouts).

It's another debugging tool. In combination with the value of load-path,
it can guide you in the right direction.

Understood.

This new load-path is better then :

(setq load-path
      (append (list
               "~/.emacs.d/elisp"
               "~/.emacs.d/elisp/yasnippet-0.5.10"
               "~/.emacs.d/elisp/magit"
               "~/.emacs.d/elisp/org-mode/lisp"
               "~/.emacs.d/elisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
              load-path
              (list
               "~/.emacs.d/etc")))

As a side note, .emacs.d/etc, holding my gnus.el must be put at the end.
Otherwise, I get some load recursive error.

Thanks for pointing me on the right direction.

You might find it easier to use add-to-list which prepends entries to
the list...

with gnus, isn't it easier/better to simply have a ~/.gnus file?  But
it's been a while since I used gnus so possibly ignore this comment!
