Hi Dan,

org-publish-to-html is the default as I look in the code ...

Sorry.

When I put the value of your org-publish-projects-alist into my
own one and evaluate it, it works here. So maybe Manish was on
the right track, hopefully.

Yes, he was. I think I may have identified the bug. The symptom is
that when the directory ~/.org-timestamps does not exist, org-publish
does nothing. I think what it should do is create ~/.org-timestamps,
and go ahead with the requested publishing. org-publish.el contains
the function org-publish-needed-p which is supposed to return 't' if
the file should be published.  Here's my suggested change which seems
to result in the behaviour I was expecting. But I haven't looked at
the code extensively, maybe there's some more appropriate place to
make the missing timestamp directory. Also, I barely know what I'm
doing in elisp. The original defun is below.

Thanks Manish and Sebastian.

current version:

(defun org-publish-needed-p (filename)
 "Return `t' if FILENAME should be published."
 (if org-publish-use-timestamps-flag
     (if (file-exists-p org-publish-timestamp-directory)
         ;; first handle possible wrong timestamp directory
         (if (not (file-directory-p org-publish-timestamp-directory))
             (error "Org publish timestamp: %s is not a directory"

           (file-newer-than-file-p
            filename (org-publish-timestamp-filename filename))))
   ;; don't use timestamps, always return t
   t))

I'm trying to get going with org-publish, but am falling at the first hurdle. I can't get it to do anything...

C-h v shows that org-publish-projects-alist has the value

(("website" :base-directory "~/website/" :publishing-directory "~/ pub_html/website/" :section-numbers nil :table-of-contents nil))

The directory ~/website exists and contains a trivial org syntax file called root.org ('* hello' followed by a newline)

The directory ~/pub_html/website exists.

I was expecting org-publish website, and C-c C-e X website (incidentally the X is erroneously down as a C in the documentation node 13.3) to result in a file called root.html being written to ~/pub_html/website, but that directory remains empty, despite repeated invocations of the same commands...

I know I'm being stupid... how, please?

Cheers,

Dan

Org-mode version 6.06pre01

I've tried with and without the trailing slashes on the base/ publishing-directory values, the documentation shows trailing slashes I've tried manually expanding ~, to no avail. (But I believe ~ should be fine as it is)
