13.1.4 Publishing action
------------------------
Publishing means that a file is copied to the destination directory and
possibly transformed in the process. The default transformation is to
export Org files as HTML files, and this is done by the function
‘org-html-publish-to-html’, which calls the HTML exporter (
HTML
export). But you also can publish your content as PDF files using
‘org-latex-publish-to-pdf’ or as ‘ascii’, ‘Texinfo’, etc., using the
corresponding functions.
If you want to publish the Org file as an ‘.org’ file but with the
archived, commented and tag-excluded trees removed, use the function
‘org-org-publish-to-org’. This will produce ‘file.org’ and put it in
the publishing directory. If you want a htmlized version of this file,
set the parameter ‘:htmlized-source’ to ‘t’, it will produce
‘file.org.html’ in the publishing directory(1).
Other files like images only need to be copied to the publishing
destination. For this you can use ‘org-publish-attachment’. For
non-org files, you always need to specify the publishing function:
‘:publishing-function’ Function executing the publication of a file.
This may also be a list of functions, which will
all be called in turn.
‘:htmlized-source’ non-‘nil’ means, publish htmlized source.
The function must accept three arguments: a property list containing
at least a ‘:publishing-directory’ property, the name of the file to be
published and the path to the publishing directory of the output file.
It should take the specified file, make the necessary transformation (if
any) and place the result into the destination folder.
---------- Footnotes ----------
(1) If the publishing directory is the same than the source
directory, ‘file.org’ will be exported as ‘file.org.org’, so probably
don’t want to do this.
