Hi All,
I was playing around with creating a new backend to convert an org-file to a json representation, and I came across this apparent inconsistency in the backend function signatures.
at
http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-export-reference.html it suggests the backend transcoding functions should have this signature:
(defun org-backend-xxx (element contents info)
code that converts element to a string)
but, that does not work for a plain-text element. Even in ox-latex.el it is defined with only two arguments, with no contents.
(defun org-latex-plain-text (text info)
My exporter works when I define it this way too, but it seemed like an odd inconsistency to me. Am I missing something in the docs somewhere?
