*** Remove ~export-block~ element type
|
||||
For export back-end developers.
|
||||
|
||||
So called "Export blocks" are now raw "Special blocks". As
|
||||
a consequence ~export-block~ type doesn't exist anymore in parser, and
|
||||
should not have a translator associated in an export back-end.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to tell the difference between a special block and a former
|
||||
export block, a new predicate, ~org-export-raw-special-block-p~ is
|
||||
implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
To put it simply, two steps may be needed to update a back-end
|
||||
defining export blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Remove any ~org-BACKEND-export-block~ function and remove
|
||||
~export-block~ entry from back-end definition.
|
||||
|
||||
2. If there is a translator for special blocks, e.g.,
|
||||
~org-BACKEND-special-block~, first check if the current block is an
|
||||
export block using the predicate and, if that is true, simply
|
||||
insert raw value, obtained through block's ~:raw-value~
|
||||
property. E.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
||||
(defun org-latex-special-block (special-block contents info)
|
||||
(if (org-export-raw-special-block-p special-block info)
|
||||
(org-element-property :raw-value special-block)
|
||||
;; Usual handling for special blocks goes here.
|
||||
))
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Note that If BACKEND is a derived back-end and doesn't implement
|
||||
its own special block translator already, there is nothing to
|
||||
change. The parent back-end will take care of such blocks.
|
||||
** Removed functions
|
||||
*** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
|
||||
This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
