I am working on my blog extension for org-publish. I would like to convert a region of text (say, between two markers) from org-mode markup into html and then paste the resulting html into another buffer where I am building a full page. I need to do this from a lisp program. It says that org-export-as-html will export an active region but I tried it and it doesn't work in a temp-buffer where (buffer-file-name) is nil. Anyway, would it be hard to expose a function like the following? (defun org-export-region-to-html (beg end) "Convert region between BEG and END into HTML, placing the result into a new buffer. The new buffer is returned."
Thanks for this idea, will be useful for many things. - Carsten 4.75 will contain the following function: (defun org-export-region-as-html (beg end &optional body-only buffer) "Convert region fron BEG to END in org-mode buffer to HTML. If prefix arg BODY-ONLY is set, omit file header, footer, and table of contents, and only produce the region of converted text, useful for cut-and-paste operations. If BUFFER is a buffer or a string, use/create that buffer as a target of the converted HTML. If BUFFER is the symbol `string', return the produced HTML as a string and leave no buffer behind. For example, a Lisp program could call this function in the following way: (setq html (org-export-region-as-html beg end t 'string)) When called interactively, the output buffer is selected, and shown in a window. A non-interactive call will only retunr the buffer." _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
