Hi,
I'm trying to write a shell script in order to convert/export Org files to
LaTeX/PDF from the command line (org2tex/org2pdf). The whole process works
well, except that it seems that some bits of the exportation are not executed.
Here's an example of what I do.
I'm using the org-interaction.el file from Blorgit:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'org)
(require 'cl)
(setq font-lock-mode t)
(defun refresh-then-find-file (file)
"Find file ensuring that the latest changes on disk are
represented in the file."
(let (file-buf)
(while (setq file-buf (get-file-buffer file))
(kill-buffer file-buf))
(find-file file)))
(defmacro with-temp-filebuffer (file &rest body)
"Open FILE into a temporary buffer execute BODY there like
`progn', then kill the FILE buffer returning the result of
evaluating BODY."
(let ((temp-result (make-symbol "temp-result"))
(temp-file (make-symbol "temp-file")))
`(let (,temp-result ,temp-file)
(refresh-then-find-file ,file)
(setf ,temp-file (current-buffer))
(setf ,temp-result (progn ,@body))
(kill-buffer ,temp-file)
,temp-result)))
;; (defvar org-interaction-prefix ".exported_")
(defvar org-interaction-prefix "")
(defun org-file-to-html (file-path)
"Open up an org file, publish it to html, and then return the
html as a string."
(let* ((file-name (file-name-nondirectory file-path))
(file-dir (file-name-directory file-path))
(html-path (expand-file-name (concat org-interaction-prefix file-name) file-dir)))
(if (and (file-exists-p html-path)
(< 0 (time-to-seconds
(time-subtract
(nth 5 (file-attributes html-path))
(nth 5 (file-attributes file-path))))))
html-path
(with-temp-filebuffer
file-path
(org-mode)
(save-window-excursion
(org-export-as-html-to-buffer nil)
(write-file html-path)
(kill-buffer (current-buffer)))))))
(defun org-file-to-latex (file-path)
"Open up an org file, publish it to latex, and then return the
latex as a string."
(let* ((file-name (file-name-nondirectory file-path))
(file-dir (file-name-directory file-path))
(latex-path (expand-file-name (concat org-interaction-prefix file-name ".tex") file-dir)))
(if (and (file-exists-p latex-path)
(< 0 (time-to-seconds

(defun org-file-to-pdf (file-path)
"Open up an org file and export it as pdf."
(let* ((file-name (file-name-sans-extension file-path))
(file-dir (file-name-directory file-path))
(org-tmp-path (make-temp-file "org-file-to-pdf-"))
(pdf-tmp-path (concat org-tmp-path ".pdf"))
(tex-tmp-path (concat org-tmp-path ".tex"))
(pdf-path (expand-file-name (concat org-interaction-prefix file-name ".pdf") file-dir)))
(if (and (file-exists-p pdf-path)
(< 0 (time-to-seconds
(time-subtract
(nth 5 (file-attributes pdf-path))
(nth 5 (file-attributes file-path))))))
pdf-path

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Here's the file I'm trying to convert (test.org):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE: Features report
#+AUTHOR: Francesco Pizzolante
#+EMAIL: fpz-djc/iPCCuDYQheJpep6IedvLeJWuRmrY@public.gmane.org
#+DATE: 2010-04-19
#+DESCRIPTION:
#+KEYWORDS:
#+LANGUAGE: en_US
#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [a4paper]
* First test
** tatatata
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
On the command line, I run the following command:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs --batch -l org-interaction.el --eval "(org-file-to-latex \"~/test.org\")"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
My observation is that the #+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS are not taken into account. I
can add any option there, I always see the default one (11pt).
It is really strange because if I add a #+LATEX_CLASS directive, this one is
well taken into account and I get the desired class.
I don't know whether it's a bug somewhere or whether I miss some arguments
somewhere...
I also tested whith Blorgit and it is the same behavior (options not
exported).
Thanks a lot for your help,
Francesco

Hi,
I forgot to mention that, of course, when I do the same operation within
Emacs, using the C-c C-e l, the file is exported without problem.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Francesco

I tried a little debugging on this, but I didn't get very far before I
ran out of time. The re-search-forward for "#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS" in
org-export-latex-set-initial-vars fails and it looks to me like a rather
subtle problem: the temp file buffer looks empty. Whether that's the
fault of the with-temp-file-buffer macro or something else, I'm not
sure.

Still not sure what is going on, but this modified org-interaction.el
file (it loads the necessary org-XXX.el files explicitly - be sure to
change the load-path appropriately) seems to work for me. I have not tried
to load org-XXX.elc files to see whether that works or not.
