Hi Jean Louis, did you solve your problem? Did you find a way to replace the blocking code by something else? I stumbled on exactly the same problem some months ago, and it drove me nuts: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2021-12/msg00674.html Edrx 1 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2022-02/msg00098.html Ihor 2 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2022-02/msg00106.html Edrx 3 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2022-02/msg00111.html Ihor 4 http://angg.twu.net/e/org.e.html#org-export-dispatch My conclusion was that Org is much harder to learn than I thought. It's easy to learn if: 1) you're a "user", or 2) you know a lot about debugging Emacs, or 3) the developers like your questions. My holidays have just started, and I'm planning to work on (2). Btw, at some point I gave up trying to find the functions that the dispatcher calls, and I just defined this "function with a very short name" that [c]ompiles the current .org file to HTML: (defun c () (interactive) (eek "C-c C-e h h")) Refs: (find-eev-quick-intro "3. Elisp hyperlinks" "eek") (find-eev-quick-intro "7.4.
