The Emacs part is superceded by a cleaner approach
I the upcoming term I want to use KC Lu's web based stacker tool.
The key point is that it takes (small) programs encoded as part of the url.
Yesterday I spent some time integrating it into my existing
org-beamer
workflow.
In my init.el I have
(defun org-babel-execute:stacker (body params)
(let* ((table '(? ?\n ?: ?/ ?? ?# ?[ ?] ?@ ?! ?$ ?& ??
?( ?) ?* ?+ ?, ?= ?%))
(slug (org-link-encode body table))
(simplified (replace-regexp-in-string "[%]20" "+" slug nil 'literal)))
(format "\\stackerlink{%s}" simplified)))
This means that when I "execute" the block below with C-c C-c, it updates the link, which is then embedded in the slides.
[[!format Error: unsupported page format org]]
The \stackerlink
macro is probably fancier than needed. One could
just use \href
from hyperref.sty
, but I wanted to match the
appearence of other links in my documents (buttons in the margins).
This is based on a now lost answer from stackoverflow.com
;
I think it wasn't this one, but you get the main idea: use \hyper@normalise
.
\makeatletter
% define \stacker@base appropriately
\DeclareRobustCommand*{\stackerlink}{\hyper@normalise\stackerlink@}
\def\stackerlink@#1{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[overlay]%
\coordinate (here) at (0,0);%
\draw (current page.south west |- here)%
node[xshift=2ex,yshift=3.5ex,fill=magenta,inner sep=1pt]%
{\hyper@linkurl{\tiny\textcolor{white}{stacker}}{\stacker@base?program=#1}}; %
\end{tikzpicture}}
\makeatother
