a little more information in case it is useful: in emacs25 -Q with recent maint, this code fails to export; it errors if there is an org-id link anywhere in the tree.
(org-export-as 'html 'subtree nil 'body-only nil) the same bug arises with ascii export. it seems like a bug that a link should make the export fail. the link is to another file not being exported. note also that this is a subtree export with body only. [btw, the docstring says "When optional argument BODY-ONLY is non-nil, only return body code, without surrounding template." it does not way what template means. perhaps the docstring could say?] with my regular .emacs instead of -Q, it does not error but returns an empty string. this made debugging confusing. it scrolls the buffer slightly for unknown reasons. this could perhaps be called a minor bug. random testcase. you can run using m-: on the top line. === * NAKA cables :export: *** NAKA hdmi :export: text ***** NOTE buy from a company who makes the connectors --- [[https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/251889-hdmi-shielding/][HDMI shielding? - General AV Discussion - StereoNET]] ***** test no body :export: ***** test body :export: text ***** noexport monoprice if nothing else but i must have rejected it. ferrite core. text ***** [[http://www.alphawire.com/en/Company/Blog/2014/July/Outgassing%2520and%2520Cables][Outgassing and Cables]] A very handy resource is the NASA Outgassing Database :export: text http://outgassing.nasa.gov/cgi/uncgi/search/search_html.sh. === On 10/2/20, Samuel Wales <samolog...@gmail.com> wrote: > a couple of corrections to my previous post. > > the keystrokes are C-c C-e t A after setting subtree and body only. > > pointer actually works for showing the link. just not cursor. > > On 10/2/20, Samuel Wales <samolog...@gmail.com> wrote: >> a few things are broken for me in the new version of maint. my >> computer use is limited, so i am taking them slowly.. >> >> emacs 25. >> >> any hints are welcome. i am not able to proceed further. >> >> >> 1. >> >> this export does nothing, with no errors or warnings: >> >> (org-export-to-buffer 'ascii "alpha-org-export-output.txt" nil >> 'subtree nil 'body-only) >> >> prior to the recent release, it exported. >> >> i tried emacs -Q with C-c C-e A, this said that it was unable to >> resolve a link. however, the link was outside the subtree. i do not >> know why it would look there. also i do not know why it woul dtry to >> resolve a link. or rather i don't know what that means. >> >> the link seems ok. it is an org id link. so why is it erroring? i >> don't know. does this have anything to do with the errorless >> no-result problem i am trying to debug? i could not be sure. >> >> i also tried edebug, but that quickly exceeds my limits. i did >> unwisely do a few levels, but everything returned nothing. for >> example, the export-as function returned an empty string. >> >> >> any comments or hints, even small ones, would be appreciated. i am >> not able to debug this. >> >> >> 2. >> >> another broken thing, in case it rings a bell for anybody, is that i >> had eldoc set up to emit link target when hovering cursor/pointer. i >> think this uses >> help echo. that stopped working. if this does not trigger a priori >> ideas, i will let it stay broken. >> >> >> thank you. >> >> -- >> The Kafka Pandemic >> >> Please learn what misopathy is. >> https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2013/10/why-some-diseases-are-wronged.html >> > > > -- > The Kafka Pandemic > > Please learn what misopathy is. > https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2013/10/why-some-diseases-are-wronged.html > -- The Kafka Pandemic Please learn what misopathy is. https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2013/10/why-some-diseases-are-wronged.html
