Re: [Orgmode] Bold text beginning line produces empty PDF

[Scot Becker]

Eric, 

Others will know better, but I think it's right to say, that's just how latex export (currently) works.  It needs to have your buffer saved (C-x C-s), and not just written to a file somewhere (C-x C-w).  This seems true even if all you want to do is get your latex in a temporary buffer.  It's not ideal for rustling up a quick piece of throwaway LaTeX, but, as I remember, it's always been that way.

It works fine with me so long as I have something before this line,
even just the template generated by C-x C-e t.  (see attached file)

However, in testing this out, I have run into two little problems:

1. if I simply visit a buffer (not a file), say x.org, and try
  exporting to Latex in a temporary buffer (C-c C-e L), I get the
  following error:

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
|   file-name-nondirectory(nil)
|   org-export-as-latex(nil nil nil "*Org LaTeX Export*")
|   org-export-as-latex-to-buffer(nil)
|   call-interactively(org-export-as-latex-to-buffer)
|   org-export(nil)
|   call-interactively(org-export nil nil)
`----

2. if I subsequently save the buffer into a file (C-x C-w x.org), for
  some reason I get prompted for a file name when trying C-c C-e L.

This is all with org-mode from git as of this morning.
