Hi Matt, It's either start-process or start-process-shell-command you want I think. Also, I believe we may have hit on not-quite-the-correct export hook. This seems to work: (defun mwp/push-latex-to-odt () "takes the exported tex file from org-mode and converts it to odt, then launches openoffice" (let* ((file-name (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name))) (output-buffer "*latex-to-odt output*") (cmd (format "mk4ht oolatex %s.tex && ooffice %s.odt" file-name file-name))) (message "Converting latex to odt") (start-process-shell-command "latex-to-odt" output-buffer cmd))) (add-hook 'org-export-latex-after-save-hook 'mwp/push-latex-to-odt) Dan > > Thanks again, > > matt > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
