Hi everyone,
Thanks for  the tips in using export filters for code blocks. I thought I
would share my current solution. The goal was to export all the code blocks
in an org-file to files systematically named part1/script-%d.py where %d is
a number. I didnot want to tangle exactly, because I wanted to avoid naming
the code block tangle files.

Then, I wanted to insert a pdf link that would open the file, after the
syntax highlighted code.

I wanted this because it is not convenient to copy and paste the
syntax-highlighted code into an editor. I teach from the pdf that is
generated, and it would be convenient to just open the code, edit and rerun
to explore solutions.

So, here is the solution:

At the top of my orgfile, I have this definition which creates a pdf link.

#+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\LaunchBinary}[2]{%
#+LATEX_HEADER:   % #1: layer name,
#+LATEX_HEADER:   % #2: link text
#+LATEX_HEADER:   \leavevmode%
#+LATEX_HEADER:   \pdfstartlink  attr{/C [0.9 0 0] /Border [0 0 2]} user {
#+LATEX_HEADER:     /Subtype /Link
#+LATEX_HEADER:     /A <<
#+LATEX_HEADER:       /F <<
#+LATEX_HEADER:          /DOS (#1)
#+LATEX_HEADER:       >>
#+LATEX_HEADER:       /S /Launch
#+LATEX_HEADER:     >>
#+LATEX_HEADER:   } #2%
#+LATEX_HEADER:   \pdfendlink%
#+LATEX_HEADER: }


Then, I use the code snippet below to export the file to latex. It is
stored in a noexport section at the end of the document. basically I set a
counter, and wrote a filter function for src blocks. the function captures
the lines between the first and last (first is \begin{minted}... and last
is \end{minted} in this case. I write those lines to a file named according
to the counter, and finally insert \LaunchBinary... into the string
returned by the filter. everything else in this let block is just
fine-tuning the latex packages, and export behavior.

(let (
      ;; these packages are loaded in the latex file
      (org-latex-default-packages-alist
       '(("utf8" "inputenc" nil)
     ("T1" "fontenc" nil)
     ("" "fixltx2e" nil)
     ("" "natbib" t)
     ("" "url" t)
     ("" "graphicx" t)
         ("" "textcomp" t)
         ("" "underscore" t)
     ("" "amsmath" t)
         ("version=3" "mhchem" t)
         ("tight,pdftex" "web" nil)
         ("" "exerquiz" nil)
         ("ImplMulti" "dljslib" nil)
        ))
      (async nil)
      (subtreep nil)
      (visible-only nil)
      (body-only nil))

(setq counter 0)

  (defun ox-mrkup-filter-src-block (text back-end info)
    (setq counter (+ counter 1))

    (let ((filename (format "part1-scripts/script-%d.py" counter)))
      (with-temp-buffer
        (insert (mapconcat 'identity (butlast (cdr (split-string text "\n"
t))) "\n"))
        (write-region (point-min) (point-max) filename))

      (format "%s

\\LaunchBinary{%s}{Open the python script (%s).}

" text filename filename)))

(let ((org-export-filter-src-block-functions '(ox-mrkup-filter-src-block)))
  (org-latex-export-to-latex async subtreep visible-only body-only
                 '(:with-author t
                                            :with-date t
                                            :with-title t
                                            :with-timestamps t
                                            :with-todo-keywords t
                                            :with-toc nil))))


After building the pdf with pdflatex, I get a link with a red box around it
that I can click on, and on my system it opens the python file in the
python editor I have configured to open the file!


Thanks again!

This seems like it might be an elegant way to distribute a piece of
reproducible research. I suspect most readers would prefer to have a pdf
entry point into a compendium over an Org-mode entry point. Instead of
distributing the Org-mode file that is configured to make a pdf file,
carry out calculations, draw figures, etc., one could distribute a
ready-made pdf file with an appendix of Supplementary Material that has
all the code for calculations, figures, etc.

What do you think?

All the best,
Tom

I think it is so interesting, we have actually tried a variation of it! I
set up an org-file that exported a supplementary information file, using
attachfile to embed data files and scripts in the pdf. Unfortunately, the
journal "processed" the pdf file, and stripped those files out ;( We
haven't tried to see if we can get our original supplemental pdf accepted.

Hi John,

Terrific! There go my plans for the weekend ... :)

Good luck with the heavy-handed journal processor.  It seems worth
pursuing to me.

All the best,
Tom

Thanks for sharing your wonderful solution!

Related to such things, something I'd like to have for long (but never found
time investigating it more) is that the PDF produced by Org would resemble more
the PDF produced by Noweb.

In the attached example file (sent on this ML in... 2009), you see that the
Noweb extension to LaTeX

- generated a code block number: page number + order (if there are multiple
  code blocks on the same page);

- for each code block, attached a reference to all code blocks using it.

In the example, you see that code block "sql-init.sql" (defined on page 2) gets
the number 2a (in that export [1]), and is used in code blocks 2c and 3. And
all those references are hyperlinks.

I found that very handy for reading your LP (or RR) document.

Best regards,
  Seb

[1] It could change if text or code is added in the documentation.

With this in my LaTeX file:

\LaunchBinary{lkfs-structure.org}{Open the file Org mode file.}

I get a red boxed link in the pdf output.

When I click on it, Adobe Reader complains:

Could not find an application to open the file ' '.

I can't understand the code for LaunchBinary, but noticed "DOS" and
wondered if the code is somehow dependent on the operating system. 

I'm using a Mac.

All the best,
Tom

indeed, there is specific code for DOS/Mac I think.

I grabbed that code from here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2341364/link-to-external-application-in-latex-beamer

which suggests these options are possible

         /DOS (xxx)
         /Unix (xxx)
         /Mac (#1)

I have not tried to see if you can put them all in. Let me know if it
works to put them all in.

I have some Mac users in my class that might need that!

Re: example filter for code blocks?

[Thomas S. Dye]

Hi John,

I tried the following, which works on my Mac.

#+name: supplementary-material-latex-header
#+header: :tangle supplementary-material-header.tex
#+begin_src latex
  \usepackage{attachfile}
  \newcommand{\LaunchBinary}[2]{%
    % #1: layer name,
    % #2: link text
    \leavevmode%
    \pdfstartlink  attr{/C [0.9 0 0] /Border [0 0 2]} user {
      /Subtype /Link
      /A <<
        /F <<
          /DOS (#1)
          /Mac (#1)
          /Unix (#1)
        >>
        /S /Launch
      >>
    } #2%
    \pdfendlink%
  }  
#+end_src

Thanks for the link.

All the best,
Tom

Yes, in fact you should always put all of them since the definitions for 
the "other" OS will be empty.

Thanks Achim,

This is good to know.

That is a pretty interesting pdf. I cannot think of a way to do this
simply. I think that filters get an info argument, which contains the parse
tree. Maybe you could use that to build up a table of which blocks refer to
each other somehow. I guess you would need some syntax in the src-block to
indicate which blocks were referred to. then, use filters to modify the
output of the rendered src-block by inserting the links in.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful solution!

Related to such things, something I'd like to have for long (but never found
time investigating it more) is that the PDF produced by Org would resemble
more
the PDF produced by Noweb.

In the attached example file (sent on this ML in... 2009), you see that the
Noweb extension to LaTeX

- generated a code block number: page number + order (if there are multiple
  code blocks on the same page);

- for each code block, attached a reference to all code blocks using it.

In the example, you see that code block "sql-init.sql" (defined on page 2)
gets
the number 2a (in that export [1]), and is used in code blocks 2c and 3. And
all those references are hyperlinks.

I found that very handy for reading your LP (or RR) document.

Best regards,
  Seb

[1] It could change if text or code is added in the documentation.

Actually, it turns out the publisher did put up the pdf with embedded
files, you just can't open them in a pdf in a browser. If you download the
file and open in a good pdf reader, you can open the embedded files. It
just made my day to figure that out!

This link:
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/ie400582a/suppl_file/ie400582a_si_001.pdf

is a supporting information file created from org-mode, with embedded excel
sheets, and the org-file that was exported to the pdf! It contains all of
the data used to make the figures in the paper, along with the python
scripts we used to make the figures.  It is probably our most complete
supplemental file ever. And, this file is freely available (although the
manuscript requires a subscription to the journal).

We actually wrote the manuscript in org-mode too, and submitted the latex
source that was exported from the org-file. Now, if we can just get
publishers to let us embed the org-source of the manuscript in the
supporting information file so at least the content is available for free...

I tried opening it with both Skim, Preview, and PdfPen and I don't see
the pushpin I'm supposed to double-click. I see the pushpins when
opening the file with emacs, but I cannot click them. Should I use a
specific PDF viewer?

Thanks,

Alan

It works in Adobe Reader, Adobe, and Bluebeam Revu. I haven't tried any
others.

I installed Adobe Reader and it's working there. This is great work,
thanks for sharing!

example filter for code blocks?

[John Kitchin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1422 bytes --]

Hi everyone,

I have an idea for putting links in a pdf that would open python code
blocks in an editor. To do that, I need to modify what happens when an
org-file is published to latex.

Essentially I want it to do exactly what it already does in terms of
running pygments, and making nicely formatted and syntax highlighted code
blocks and output.

After that though, I want to tangle the code block to a file in a
directory, and insert a new link after the rendered code block. I would
prefer not to have to put :tangle headings in each code block because there
are many (e.g. hundreds) of them in course notes. It would be sufficient if
they were just sequentially numbered as dir/1.py, dir/2.py, etc... and it
is fine if these get overwritten on each export.

the link that would go after the code block in the latex export would be
something like:
\LaunchPython{dir/1.py}{Open code}

Then clicking on it would open dir/1.py in whatever editor your system is
configured for. \LaunchPython is a newcommand I have defined that works
already.

It seems like the new export engine should make this easy to do, but I am
not sure where to start. Could anyone point me to a starting place? Thanks!

Hello John,

Few days ago, I did some research on the general problem:
- not python specific (code agnostic)
- not latex specific (export back-end agnostic)

Unfortunately I ended up only for specific parts, but hope that can be
useful starting points.

I think that the ability to attach code blocks in a easy and general
way can be a nice improvement.

If can live with a different file per section instead of per code
block you can group the common setting, eg:

:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: octave :session *octave-sess* :exports both :results output :tangle lab1-ex1.m
:END:

>the link that would go after the code block in the latex export would

My hack with limited use to latex and html (and probably will not copy
the tangled file with html publish) is:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{attachfile}

#+MACRO: embed-matlab @@latex:\textattachfile[mimetype=text/x-matlab,color=0 0 0.5]{$1}{$1}@@ @@html:<a href="$1">$1</a>@@

#+NAME: code:2
#+BEGIN_SRC octave
   x = 1:10
#+END_SRC

Snippets of octave source code for this exercise
{{{embed-matlab(lab1-ex1.m)}}}

>It seems like the new export engine should make this easy to do, but

I only have limited lisp knowledge, but I am interested as well in
pointers for a general solution.

Regards,
Daniele

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can do this (maybe more easily,
maybe not) on the LaTeX side.  Check out the etoolbox package, look at
the patching commands and remember that \begin{foo} ... \end{foo}
translate (more or less) into something like \begingroup\foo ...
\endfoo\endgroup, so patching \endfoo might be the way to go.

Check out `org-export-filter-src-block-functions'.  It shouldn't be too
hard to add a custom filter to that list which may be used to process
all code block bodies during latex export.

Best,

Somewhat off-topic, but, thanks for pointing out this variable Eric....  I've been wanting an approach that would wrap all exported code in some kind of folded mode (maybe a jquery accordion).  Initially the html document by default would display only exported 'results'.  The user could choose to display the code behind any result with a single click (keyboard interactivity would be even better).  Do you think that this is the right 'hook' to apply such?  Have you seen this already done better somewhere?

I think the approach I sent earlier would potentially work. essentially you
would get the html code  and wrap it with  whatever text is required for
the folding mode. you would return something like (format "<code to
fold>%s</end code to fold>" text) where text is the html code from the src
block. In latex I had to parse that text a little bit because the first
line was \begin{minted}... and the last line was \end{minted}, which I did
not want.
