[O] Conditional source-block execution based on LaTeX document class?
Just ran into something that I'm really not sure how to handle. I thought I could handle it with export filters, but actually it involves babel, and that makes it more involved than I initially suspected. I'm working on a large project involving five beamer presentations (one per day), and the sources for these will be combined into one massive beamerarticle document for the workshop attendees' reference. (If they want to print it out, it will look okay, but I won't encourage the killing of trees -- actually my early versions of the article layout looks fine on a tablet.) I'm using LaTeX's glossaries package for indexed references at the end. But, \newglossaryentry is really annoying. So I made some org tables for the glossary entries and I wrote some emacs-lisp src blocks to convert them into the right syntax for LaTeX. So here's the problem... In the individual beamer slideshows, I need to put the \newglossaryentry commands within a frame (because I'm also using beamer's ignorenonframetext class option, so that I can have text that appears only in the article but not the slides). That is (if I have H:3): *** Some frame A block Some text #+call: makegloss #+results: makegloss ... then the results of the src block to go into the frame, and then beamer doesn't ignore them and everything works. For the final article, I need a structure like this: #+options: H:4 * Day 1 #+include 01-intro/01-contents.org * Day 2 #+include 02-synthesis/02-contents.org And the problem is, if the #+call commands are replicated in each 0x-contents file, then I will have redundant \newglossaryentry commands in the LaTeX output (in the end, multiplied five times). If there's no other way, I could live with that, but ideally, I'd like to be able to put the #+call lines into the master file for the article, and then be able to suppress their execution in the #+includes. Ideally, this would be automatic based on the LaTeX document class. Any way to do this? I suppose, at worst, I can just put all of the #+call lines in, and simply say no to the ones I don't want in the final compilation. Thanks, hjh

In general, since Org-to-LaTeX export is a bit simplistic (as compared to (La)TeX itself), I guess that solving such problems on the LaTeX side might be easier. (That said, beamer is rather opposite of simplistic, so it might as well be not true...) Thanks, hjh HTH, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Hi James, Maybe you could do something like the following... #+name: export-hdr-arg-backend-dep #+begin_src emacs-lisp (message do stuff) #+end_src #+call: export-hdr-arg-backend-dep() :exports (if (eq org-export-current-backend 'beamer) none results) Best, James Harkins jamshar...@gmail.com writes: Just ran into something that I'm really not sure how to handle.

Ah... that's really cool. I hadn't realized you could run lisp in the
header arguments.
I couldn't check the current export backend because the org markup uses
beamer-specific features. The way to export the article format is to use
the beamer backend, but with document class = article and a
\usepackage{beamerarticle} line in the preamble.
But, I figured out a little hack: to put this at the top of the container
file:
# ## top of slide container
#+name: set-slide-flag
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports results :results value latex
(setq hjh-exporting-slides 't)
#+end_src
# ## top of article container
#+name: set-slide-flag
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports results :results value latex
(setq hjh-exporting-slides nil)
#+end_src
Then I can test this variable in all of the #+calls.
It seems to be working. When I export from the slide container file, it
runs each #+call once. When I export from the article container (where I
have the calls in the container), it runs the calls for the article
container but it does *not* execute the calls redundantly for the two slide
show source files I have now.
Thanks for the tip -- that's working a treat!
I think I owe it to the org community to write up this workflow, after the
project is over. The help from Nicolas, you and others has been invaluable.
