4.2 Customization

Variable: burnish-backend

Local file variable that must be set in an Org file for the burnish command to run.

It is recommended to use the command burnish-select-backend to edit this variable in an Org file.

The values supported by burnish-backend are the keys of the alist burnish-export-functions. By default these keys are:

  • html — export to HTML
  • md — export to Markdown
  • odt — export to Open Office Doc
  • info — export to Info via Texinfo
  • latex-pdf — export to LaTeX

Any changes to this variable in the Org file will require reloading it with the revert-buffer command.

User Option: burnish-export-functions

Alist of export backends and their corresponding functions.

Each element is a cons cell (SYMBOL . FUNCTION) where SYMBOL is an export backend and FUNCTION is its corresponding export function.

This customizable variable can be amended to support additional export backends provided that an export function for the new backend is defined. Similarly, an existing export function can be overridden with a user-defined export function.

User Option: burnish-export-key

Key sequence to bind the command burnish. Default value C-<f5>.
