I'm trying to streamline some veyr ad-hoc workflows I have. One thing I do a lot during the school year is make some changes to an org source file, and then export to hugo markdown with ox-hugo, and finally commit to git (after that I have a git hook that generates the website & uploads the changed pages to the appropriate location, usually a github-pages branch or separate repo).
So I have this code:
(defun mwp-hugo-export-and-release ()
"Make it faster and easier to put my lectures up on the website."
(interactive)
(let* ((modfile (org-hugo-export-wim-to-md))
(basedir (plist-get (org-export-get-environment 'hugo) ':hugo-base-dir ))
(default-directory (expand-file-name basedir)))
(magit-stage-file modfile)
;; (magit-status)
(magit-commit-create)
) )
It works great, I'm very happy. HOWEVER: in my websites I have two kinds of outputs:
- regular pages -- these get exported to .md files and turned into html by hugo
- lecture notes -- these get exported to reveal.js HTML pages by org-re-reveal and my hugo theme treats them differently .
I would really like to set a switch somewhere in the file, something like:
#+MWP_EXPORT_TYPE: slides
And then something like
let* ((modfile (if (eq :mwp-export-type "slides") (mwp-hugo-reveal-custom-export-function)
(org-hugo-export-wim-to-md)))
....etc)
do stuff)
But I'm not sure how to get access to a totally non-standard option like the kind I just invented in that last bit of pseudo-code. Anyone have a good suggestion?
Thank you as always!
