Export in Foswiki format?

Export in Foswiki format?

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

I'm interested in exporting from Org to Foswiki format.  Is
org-export-generic.el still the way to go or has this been superseded by
something else?

Cheers,

Loris

Nevermind, I found this:

  https://github.com/dfeich/org8-wikiexporters

also available via MELPA.

The following

  M-x org-twiki-export-as-twiki

worked on a file yesterday.  Today, with the same file, I get 

  org-export-barf-if-invalid-backend: Unknown "nil" back-end: Aborting export

Any ideas of what I might have accidentally tweaked to make things
break?

Cheers,

Loris

Restarted your emacs and forgot to load ox-twiki.el?

No and yes.

'No' in the sense that I use (and have used for at least a couple of
years) Fabrice Niessen's 'try-require' function
(http://www.mygooglest.com/fni/dot-emacs.html) for loading things in my
.emacs.  If the thing to be loaded is missing the error is caught and
logged to *Messages*.  Loading in this way fails in a subtle way, since
the funtion 'org-twiki-export-as-twiki' is known, but broken.

'Yes' in the sense that if I just open the file 'ox-twiki.el' and
evaluate the buffer, exporting works fine.

I'll open a new thread on the topic of how to require packages which may
be missing. 

Cheers,

Loris
