The Emacs Lisp Reference manual has a section (23.1: Hooks) on hooks, but I'm not sure how helpful it will be to you. The most important note is that "normal" hook variables are, by convention, named <foo>-hook. "normal" means that the functions that are added to the hook take no arguments and return no useful values. > In particular, I am trying to figure out how to use the following > to see if any of them are going to help me: > > org-export-preprocess-hook > org-export-preprocess-after-tree-selection-hook > org-export-preprocess-final-hook > > Any examples of a hook function for these would help a lot.

C-h v org-export-preprocess-hook <RET> gives me: (org-export-blocks-preprocess) so we have here an example of a hook function! C-h f org-export-blocks-preprocess <RET> gives you the function's doc string, including a link to where it is defined, and clicking on the link will take you to the function: no params (it is a "normal" hook after all), and I think you can make no assumptions about the context. In particular, the above function wraps everything in a save-excursion, goes to the beginning of the buffer and searches for interesting things, doing something on each interesting thing it finds. The other two hooks are nil in my case, but I think similar things would apply there too.
