freemind export?

Hello,

seems the freemind export is no longer supported in org.mode. Though I
found the ox-freemind.el somewhere on the net, I am desperately looking for
a documentation. I want to position nodes on the left, for example, but I
don't know how to pass optional parameters to the converter.

Thanks
Christof

Not true.  The exporter is available over the new export framework.

You are looking for Jesus in a mosque.  The right place would
org-plus-contrib elpa distribution or a git checkout.

M-x find-library RET ox-freemind RET

Just look at English strings there.  That should give you a pretty good
idea of what you can do.

You can also search for the string - left or right - and you know that
the exporter already has some trick up it's sleeve.

Unless you give an example, it is difficult for me to understand what
you want to achieve.  How does your Org file look like and what node you
want to position left.

The beginning of the file says:

>> See ox.el for more details on how this exporter works. <<

I did look, but didn't find any information there.

I searched, but didn't understand the "trick".

Like this:

#+TITLE: SUBJEKT
#+AUTHOR: Christof
#+OPTIONS: H:4

* Headline 1

** Sub 1.1
** Sub 1.2

* Headline 2

** Sub 2.1
** Sub 2.2

Branch "Headline 2" should be place to the left of the central SUBJECT in
Freemind.

I also don't understand how to access the other styles 0-5 that a
predefined.

Thanks again

Christof

It is getting placed rightly.

Here is the screenshot of what I get (with no additional customizations
at my end).  I use freeplane, btw.

As for styles, you need to customize your styles in Freemind exporter
and move over the XML to ox-freemind.el.  If you have a specific
question wrt style, I can help.  But I need to be convinced that you are
using the right exporter i.e., no installation issues etc etc etc.

my installation of ox-freemind.el:

- put ox-freemind.el in list/org - directory
- (require 'cl) in init.el
- custom settings in initl.el:
 '(org-export-backends (quote (ascii beamer html icalendar latex freemind)))
 '(org-freemind-pretty-output t)
 '(org-freemind-style-map-function (quote
org-freemind-style-map--automatic))

run C-c C-e f f in org-buffer
open in freemind or freeplane current version (no difference, all branches
always placed to the right of main subject).

Does freeplane do the placing or is it due to a POSITION switch in the
mm-file? Could you post the exported mm-file please for comparison,
please?

Thanks

See the attachment.

You can search for right and left in the XML produced.  First headline
goes right, second headline goes left, third one goes right, so on and
so forth.

If you could locate the bug I am willing to circulate a fix.

Thanks

here is a part of your mm-xml-code:

<node COLOR="#00b439" ID="sec-1-1" POSITION="right" FOLDED="false">
<font NAME="SansSerif" SIZE="16"/>
<edge STYLE="bezier" WIDTH="thin"/>
<richcontent TYPE="NODE">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>Sub 1.1
</p>
</body>
</html>
</richcontent>
</node>

and here is mine, containing no formatting attributes:

      <node>
<richcontent TYPE="NODE">
  <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
      <p>Sub 1.1
      </p>
    </body>
  </html>
</richcontent>
      </node>

I was not able to change the setting of "org-freemind-style-map-function",
didn't understand the syntax. Seems you have another setting there that
makes use of your predefined styles.

1. could you send me the variable settings of the exporter in your .emacs?
2. could you send me / or point me to the latest version of ox-freemind.el
that you are using?

I am not a programmer, so I don't much about what is going on in the lisp
code.

Thanks for helping,
Christof

No customization at my end.

emacs -Q -l ~/.emacs-minimal


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
kjambunathan@debian-6:~$ cat .emacs-minimal

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/org-mode/lisp/")

I am using whatever that comes with Org-mode right now, with only change:
Do a add (require 'cl).

My version: 
http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-kjn.git

Deas Jambunathan,

I found the bug: Windows-Emacs was missing the libxml2 library. I got the
libxml2-2.7.8.-w32-bin.zip, copied the content of /bin into Emacs' /bin
directory and now the formatting works.

I think it would be nice to have the level 0 node (title) formatted as <p
style="text-align: center"> but that can probably done by using the style
system.

BTW: Freeplane messes the UTF-8 characters up when importing, that's why I
use freemind.

Thanks for your work,
Christof
