Re: [Orgmode] export-latex-final-hook

[Matt Price]

Thanks to Dan and Carsten,

I now have this:


(defun  mwp/push-latex-to-odt ()
  "takes the exported tex file from org-mode and converts it to odt,
then launches openoffice"
  (shell-command
   (format  "mk4ht oolatex  %s.tex"
            (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name))))
  (shell-command
   (format  "ooffice  %s.odt &"
            (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name)))))

(add-hook 'org-export-latex-final-hook
          'mwp/push-latex-to-odt)


which works fine.  The only issue is that the first shell command,
mk4ht oolatex, sometimes takes a while to finish processing & would be
nice to have running in the background.  Should  just write a shell
script that runs the two commands, and then fork that process? Or is
there a slightly more elegant way that keeps all of the programming
contained in a lisp file?

Thanks again,

matt
