Hi, I'm currently experimenting exporting notes from my beamer presentations as articles via use of the beamerarticle package. In some cases, I only want to export the *notes* to the article. This can be achieved easily enough by setting #+SELECT_TAGS: B_noteNH B_note, but it would be a hassle to remove/insert this statement everytime I need/don't need non-note material. Therefore, I tried defining a derived backend with the following settings:
(org-export-define-derived-backend 'beamerarticlenotes 'latex :export-block '("LATEX" "TEX") :menu-entry '(?n "Notes export" ( (?M "As LaTeX buffer (LaTeX notes)" org-latex-export-as-latex) (?m "As LaTeX file (LaTeX notes)" org-latex-export-to-latex) (?N "As PDF file and open (LaTeX notes)" (lambda (a s v b) (if a (org-latex-export-to-pdf t s v b) (org-open-file (org-latex-export-to-pdf nil s v b))))))) :options-alist '( (:author "AUTHOR" nil "John Doe" t) (:select-tags "SELECT_TAGS" nil "B_noteNH" split) ) ) However, I must be doing something wrong as adding this backend and running C-c C-e n N on the MWE below does not work. Moreover, the author name does not change to John Doe, which I included just for testing. I'm running without startup file (emacs -Q), pointing to release tag release_8.2.8. Adding #+SELECT_TAGS: B_noteNH and running C-c C-e l o does give the desired result. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Per MWE: #+STARTUP: indent beamer #+OPTIONS: H:1 tags:nil #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{beamerarticle} * Frame ** Block Block 1 * Notes :B_noteNH: :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_env: noteNH :END: Some notes
