Also you are mixing translators and filters: arguments for translators are ELEMENT CONTENTS INFO. Use, for example: (defun my-ascii-property-drawer (drawer contents info) contents) > (org-export-define-derived-backend 'my-ascii 'ascii > :translate-alist '((template . > org-tut-ascii-translater-property-drawer))) Replace `template' with `property-drawer'. You also need to define a translator for `node-property' elements, e.g., (defun my-ascii-node-property (node-prop contents info) (concat (org-element-property :key node-prop) ": " (org-element-property :value node-prop))) and (org-export-define-derived-backend 'my-ascii 'ascii :translate-alist '((property-drawer . my-ascii-property-drawer) (node-property . my-ascii-node-property))) Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
