Exporting custom properties to PDF with org mode

Tags:

emacs

org-mode

I am using Org-mode in Emacs and have an org document with some tasks. For some tasks, I added a custom property called PEOPLE, which lists the people involved in performing this task.

When I export this document to HTML or pdf, only properties which are "Special Properties" like DEADLINE or SCHEDULE are exported to HTML or pdf and appear in the exported document. I am not able to see the PEOPLE property when I export the document.

Is there a way to add custom properties to the "Special Properties" list of Org mode?

What are Org mode files?

Org Mode (also: org-mode; /ˈɔːrɡ moʊd/) is a document editing, formatting, and organizing mode, designed for notes, planning, and authoring within the free software text editor Emacs.

Does vim have Org mode?

vim is a minimal Org mode and Outline mode plugin for Vim providing only syntax highlighting and folding. This plugin aims to replicate Vim's existing Markdown editing experience on Org mode (and Outline mode) files, rather than trying to be a full featured Org mode plugin—that is what Emacs is for.

How do I use Org mode in Emacs?

To save the document, either press the save icon, or press C-x C-s, call it 1.org. Emacs does not actually understand you are editing an Org document, yet. To enable Org mode on your current document, type M-x org-mode which will enable the Org mode on the current document. Those are minuses, not underscores.

How do you make a table in Org mode?

The easiest way to create a table is to directly type the "|" character at the beginning of a line, or after any amount of white space. This will put you in the first field of an atomic table. Once you've finished editing this cell, you can jump to the next one by pressing TAB .

Look into using the "d:" field in the options list (http://orgmode.org/manual/Export-options.html#Export-options) or the :drawers option for html publishing (http://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing-options.html#Publishing-options). Without knowing more detail about how you are doing the exporting, that's the best advice I can give you.

By now what I'm doing is using this http://orgmode.org/manual/Capturing-column-view.html to add a table (with the desired properties) at the end of the document.
