I use org-publish to publish HTML exports of org-mode files quite often to share documents with my coworkers, however, I generate a lot of diagrams with plantuml and gnuplot. These diagrams aren't sent to the remote server when I export the file with C-c C-e P f.

My configuration looks like:

("org-pastebin" :base-directory "~/org/" :base-extension "org\\|zsh\\|html\\|png" :publishing-directory "/ssh:user@server:~/public_html/org/" :publishing-function org-html-publish-to-html :with-toc t :html-preamble t)

If I have an org-mode file that looks like:

* Header Some prose #+BEGIN_SRC plantuml :file my-file.png :results raw ... #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: [[file:my-file.png]]

How can I get Emacs to automatically publish the linked file (my-file.png) in this case? Even if I publish the whole project the images are not copied.

In order to publish projects consisting of multiple file types I add the following to my .emacs file:

(setq org-publish-project-alist '(("myprojectorg" :base-directory "~/path/to/myproject/" :publishing-directory "/ssh:user@server:~/public_html/myproject/" :publishing-function org-html-publish-to-html :auto-preamble t ) ("myprojectother" :base-directory "~/path/to/myproject/" :base-extension "css\\|pdf\\|sh" :publishing-directory "/ssh:user@server:~/public_html/myproject" :publishing-function org-publish-attachment ) ("myprojectimages" :base-directory "~/path/to/myproject/images" :base-extension "png\\|jpg" :publishing-directory "/ssh:user@server:~/public_html/myproject/images" :publishing-function org-publish-attachment ) ("myprojectweb" :components("myprojectorg" "myprojectother" "myprojectimages")) ) )

This defines an entry myprojectweb which I use when publishing from org-mode using C-c C-e P x. This myprojectweb consists of:

  • the org file(s) as defined in myprojectorg,
  • image files as defined in myprojectimages (which are in a subdirectory), and
  • other files (in this case PDFs, CSS files and shell scripts), which are defined in myprojectother.

These last two entries are published using org-publish-attachment which does nothing but copy the files to the publishing-directory.
