`e-html' back-end turns them into images (with, i.e. dvipng). Would that
be applicable to Groff as well?

Hmm... that's an idea... It would be useful for equations. Even though
Groff has EQN, if you're used to LaTeX ones, you do not have to learn
another set. 

The only difference that it has to be exported with dvips, but at the
end is just the same difference.

Let me look at the html code and see. :)

Hi:

I did a test with the dvipng output and the issue is converting it to
EPS after they have been generated. The better solution is to add
support for dvips to get an EPS directly from DVI. 

I'll play with org.el and see if I get it going.

I've regained push access. So it should be fixed now. I let you
double-check the commits.

As a side note, there was a typo in some element types (latex-fragment
and latex-environment) so they were ignored by the Groff back-end. I've
fixed their name, but, since I don't know what you want to do with them,
I've commented them out from back-end definition. Thus, they are still
ignored (see lines 68-69 in the file). I let you decide what to do with
them.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to have push access to repository for now.
It will either have to be done by someone else or wait until I can fix
it.

For the record, it's just about removing the quote at the beginning of
the line 51 in org-e-groff.el.

You may also want to remove the two `defvar' above, which look useless.

org-e-groff-export-to-groff produces empty output file

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 728 bytes --]

Hi,

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but I can't get org-e-groff to
generate anything but an empty output file.  I've boiled this down to
the following minimal example.  First save the attached example.org file
to /tmp/example.org.  Then run the following in your shell,

    # -*- shell-script -*-
    emacs --batch --eval '(let ((org-path "~/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/"))
    (add-to-list (quote load-path) (expand-file-name "lisp" org-path))
    (add-to-list (quote load-path) (expand-file-name "contrib/lisp" org-path))
    (require (quote org))
    (require (quote org-e-groff)))' /tmp/example.org -f org-e-groff-export-to-groff

The above generates an empty file in /tmp/example.groff.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

I don't think you are missing anything. I tried the grof exporter out a 
couple of weeks ago and it worked fine for me. I just tried it on the 
file I used before and I also get blank output. I have also tried your 
minimal example and get no output.

I am on org-mode fa15516a16df6c9ca060c56e85

I got the same results w/ the HTML exporter, version 7.9.1-RELEASE and a 
maint snapshot from yesterday or the day before.

Umm, sorry, I get this when /publishing/ (org-e-publish). 
org-e-html-export-to-html works.

Perhaps the backend is not being correctly passed on to org-export-as.

I am not at a machine where I can check this right now, but 

  (org-export-as 'e-bogus)

used to merrily run to completion producing an empty output if the
objects for the named backend were not bound. 

HTH,

Chuck

Things get even weirder as I *do* have the correct exported file here
(I'm trying from maint).

What if you M-x org-e-groff-export-to-groff RET directly from the file?

I still get a blank result (that was how I tried initially).  I'm
currently on the latest git head of the master branch [1] and I am using
a recent Verizon of Emacs [2].

I just tried switching to maint, reloading org-mode and re-exporting and
I again get an empty output file.  I can confirm that other new
exporters such as org-e-html are working as expected.

Hope this helps,

This is not good. What I'll do is to pull the latest from git and run
regression test. I know that changes have been made and I pushed those
in my github account. But I've not run with the latest for a while (I
still need to use org-mode for real work. :) ) Let me play with it and
see.

Hi:

No, you're not missing something, there's is a problem. I just ran
regression and all the groff files are empty. My gut feeling is the
change from the defvar to the invocation of
`org-export-define-backend' is not mapping the different calls to
its respective function. First thing I noticed is that the second
parameter, is a symbol while the function expects it to be a string
(it's passing it into a format), that may be one of the problems. I
changed it to a string with the same results. (i. e. empty files).


I ran it with an older version of org-e-groff.el that does not use 
this function and it runs fine with the lastest from git.  

Hmmm...

This is because I made a typo when defining the back-end: there
shouldn't be any quote before the first alist.
