Re: [O] Org Table Export to Markdown Table Question

[vilibald]

 I realize this is a pandoc problem, but since markdown supports tables, is
 it
 possible to have Org export the tables into markdown as markdown tables
 rather than html tables? Also, is there a way for latex code to be
 converted
 prior to markdown export?

 Thanks, Aric

Hi Aric,
AFAIK md export doesn't support tables as the original Markdown is not
mentioning them, so unfortunately org-mode will not help you at the moment
unless you are up for bit of elisp programming to get these Markdown
extensions working.
As for the latex code, I'm not sure what you'd like to achieve, you want
the latex code to be converted to what?

Have a nice day

Re: [O] Authorship and copyright of derived exporters

[vilibald]

 Hi,

 I've been wondering, whom to put on the copyright line and author: lines
 in a derived exporter.

 For example, I have an exporter derived from the LaTeX backend which
 basically is:

 - the (org-export-define-derived-backend ...) call
 - a renamed copy of org-latex-template modified by adding
   - five lines of comment
   - five times three lines of code
 - a copy of the end-user functions of the LaTeX exporter,
   - the functions renamed for the derived exporter
   - 'latex inside them replaced for the derived exporter
 - a couple of comment lines explaining the derived exporter



 On the other side, I have another derived exporter (from the HTML
 backend, this time) with way more of I've written myself,  but still the
 end-user functions of the html backend (-export-as-html,
 -convert-regino-to-html, -export-to-html, and -publish-to-html) copied,
 renamed and 'html replaced inside those functions.


 Should I copy the authors of the backends I derived from into my
 file(s)?  I'd rather not leave them out, but, on the other hand, maybe
 they don't want to be associated with my sometimes paltry attempts at
 coding.

 Thank you very much for your advice.

 Best regards
 Robert



Hi Robert,
I'm actually in similar position, I've created an exporter to dokuwiki and
creole formats, and looking at the contrib/lisp/ox-* files it seems that
nobody is mentioning original backend authors I'd say that if it is new
backend although derived than there's no need to mention them as you are
using it more like library functions

Best regards

 Interesting -- can you share a pointer to these contributions?

 Thanks!

I've shared it on github, please see https://github.com/w-vi/ox-wk.el ...
My first intention was to support more formats than just creole and
dokuwiki but as in the company I work for the mediawiki is no longer in
use I didn't really got to it, but I'm happy to add support for it as
well.
