Yes, you are correct. And, in fact, the naïve way to insert the property dynamically (using ~org-export-before-processing-hook~) does not work: #+name: does-not-work #+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports none (defun ltb-org-insert-export-file-name (backend) (save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (while (search-forward-regexp "^[*] Lecture \\([0-9]+\\)" nil t) (forward-line 1) (let ((num (match-string 1))) (unless (looking-at "^:PROPERTIES:") (let ((pty (format ":PROPERTIES:\n:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: lecture-%s.pdf\n:END:\n" num))) (insert pty) (message (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max) (add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook 'ltb-org-insert-export-file-name) #+end_src The property drawer is ignored, presumably because org has already scanned the file and determined the filename. I guess one would need to reach inside the document structure and alter the filename there, but I don't have that knowledge. Suggestions are welcome. Leo

Hi. Sorry if you already know this and want something more automated it is not too clear to me. (What is not clear either is why you have '* Lecture 1' _and_ '** Lecture 1', etc., i.e., why not just '* Lecture 1'.) So: if you insert :PROPERTIES: :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: lecture-1.pdf :END: right after '** Lecture 1' and, with the point inside that subtree, do: C-c C-e C-s l O it seems to me it does the job. > #+AUTHOR: Leo Butler > #+TITLE: Lectures in Math > #+OPTIONS: H:2 toc:t num:t > #+LATEX_CLASS: beamer > #+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation] > #+STARTUP: beamer > #+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: lectures > > * Lecture 1 > ** Lecture 1 > In the beginning...This subtree should be exported to =lecture-1.pdf=. > * Lecture 2 > ** Lecture 2 > Next...This subtree should be exported to =lecture-2.pdf=. -- EOST (École et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre) ITE (Institut Terre & Environnement) | alain.coch...@unistra.fr 5 rue René Descartes [bureau 110] | Phone: +33 (0)3 68 85 50 44 F-67084 Strasbourg Cedex, France | [ slot available for rent ]
setting export_file_name during export
Hello, I am trying something new this semester: all my lecture notes are organized into a single org file. A minor problem: I want to export each lecture (see below) as a separate pdf file. I would like to know if anyone has ``solved'' this problem or has a suggestion on how to do it. Ideally, I would like to have a single function that retains only the current subtree that contains point, sets EXPORT_FILE_NAME based on the top heading, and exports it as a complete beamer pdf. TIA, Leo #+AUTHOR: Leo Butler #+TITLE: Lectures in Math #+OPTIONS: H:2 toc:t num:t #+LATEX_CLASS: beamer #+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation] #+STARTUP: beamer #+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: lectures * Lecture 1 ** Lecture 1 In the beginning...This subtree should be exported to =lecture-1.pdf=. * Lecture 2 ** Lecture 2 Next...This subtree should be exported to =lecture-2.pdf=.
