Just ran into something that I'm really not sure how to handle. I thought I
could handle it with export filters, but actually it involves babel, and
that makes it more involved than I initially suspected.
I'm working on a large project involving five beamer presentations (one per
day), and the sources for these will be combined into one massive
beamerarticle document for the workshop attendees' reference. (If they want
to print it out, it will look okay, but I won't encourage the killing of
trees -- actually my early versions of the article layout looks fine on a
tablet.)
I'm using LaTeX's glossaries package for indexed references at the end.
But, \newglossaryentry is really annoying. So I made some org tables for
the glossary entries and I wrote some emacs-lisp src blocks to convert them
into the right syntax for LaTeX. So here's the problem...
In the individual beamer slideshows, I need to put the \newglossaryentry
commands within a frame (because I'm also using beamer's
"ignorenonframetext" class option, so that I can have text that appears
only in the article but not the slides). That is (if I have H:3):
*** Some frame
**** A block
Some text
#+call: makegloss
#+results: makegloss
... then the results of the src block to go into the frame, and then beamer
doesn't ignore them and everything works.
For the final article, I need a structure like this:
#+options: H:4
* Day 1
#+include "01-intro/01-contents.org"
* Day 2
#+include "02-synthesis/02-contents.org"
And the problem is, if the #+call commands are replicated in each
0x-contents file, then I will have redundant \newglossaryentry commands in
the LaTeX output (in the end, multiplied five times).
If there's no other way, I could live with that, but ideally, I'd like to
be able to put the #+call lines into the master file for the article, and
then be able to suppress their execution in the #+includes. Ideally, this
would be automatic based on the LaTeX document class.
Any way to do this? I suppose, at worst, I can just put all of the #+call
lines in, and simply say "no" to the ones I don't want in the final
compilation.
Thanks,
hjh
