I'm wondering what's the best way to export a single org file to a
/single/ LaTeX file but also to /multiple/ HTML files. Think of lengthy
manuals and things like that where such a strategy may be sensible. What
came to my mind were include commands or publishing functions that
post-process the export but this seems all rather cumbersome. Has anyone
a better idea?

When I used it last (some time ago) it desperately failed on some PDFs. Originally, I thought I could somehow achieve some sort of `split' behaviour (e.g. like in texi2html) where you can specify to create a separate file on export for every first (second, third ...) level headline. But that's probably a bit tricky. Ulf ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

The function below could be a starting point of a more general functionality: It takes a file and splits copys all headlines with a certain level to a separate output file. The more general functionality I am thinking of would be: Create multiple output files for one or more input files that contain headlines that match a certain criteria. E.g.: Create output file "TODO.org" with all headlines with todo keyword TODO or put all files with the tag "tag" into a output file "tag.org" etc. Things to consider: - escape sequences for output file names ("%number" -> counter, "%tag" -> tag etc.) - functions to move headline from here to there (copy, cut, cut and insert link) - maybe provide template for the output file's in file options (e.g. #+TITLE etc.) For the splitting-by-level there is one caveat: The numbering of the headlines is lost. Definitively something that should be cooked up a little more. ,---- | (defun org-split-file (file level outfmt) | "Split FILE into multiple files. | FILE is Org file to split. | LEVEL is outline level of headlines. | OUTFMT is a template for output files." | (let ((visiting (find-buffer-visiting file)) | (cnt 1) | cand hl out) | (with-current-buffer (or visiting (find-file-noselect file)) | (save-excursion | (save-restriction | (setq cand (org-map-entries 'point | (format "LEVEL=%s" level) | 'file)) | (while (setq hl (pop cand)) | (goto-char hl) | (setq out (concat | (org-replace-escapes outfmt | `(("%n" . ,(format "%s" cnt)))) | ".org")) | (org-copy-subtree) | (with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect out) | (erase-buffer) | (org-paste-subtree level) | (save-buffer)) | (kill-buffer (find-buffer-visiting out)) | (setq cnt (1+ cnt)) | (print out))))))) `---- HTH -- David -- OpenPGP... 0x99ADB83B5A4478E6 Jabber.... dmjena@jabber.org Email..... dmaus@ictsoc.de [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 230 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 201 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Originally, I've asked the question because of a forthcoming project with a rather large documentation where I'd like to advocate org as documentation system. However, since the whole thing has been postponed, the matter is less pressing. Nevertheless, I think that having a functionality to split files on export would be a nice improvement of org mode. If I would really need this some day, I'd probably write something to achieve it but certainly not in elisp as it would take me far too long due to lack of skill. I'd rather go for a ruby, perl or even shell script for post-processing the export. However, such post-processing would certainly not be the very best solution, an implementation in elisp would be much better. Regarding the split criteria, I'd say that splitting by section level is probably the most common case, although keeping track of the section numbering may pose a problem as David has already mentioned. Splitting by tag may be also useful. Ideally, section level or tag could be defined as export option. As said, the topic has been currently put on hold for me, but I'd nevertheless appreciate any hints and pointers regarding it. Ulf ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
