Re: Using environment variables in path names

np! If I had thought before writing my mail, I would also have mentioned the backquote:
(setq muse-project-alist
`("website" ,muse-path))
The backquote means that everything is quoted EXCEPT symbols preceded with comma. See http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/macros.html and the section on backquote and you'll have a much cleaner looking setq.

Excellent! Thank you, Martin.
I'm not much of a lisp maven (yet). I was just trying to cobble something from examples I found in the Muse doc, though obviously there are subtleties that I missed.
Thanks!

The problem is that you're quoting (using the shorthand ') your variables, which means they will appear as symbols in your list and not be substituted.
Compare this:
(setq muse-project-alist
(list
'("website" ; my various writings
("~/Pages" :default "index")
(:base "html" :path "~/public_html")
(:base "pdf" :path "~/public_html/pdf"))
(list "Info"
(list muse-path :default "index")
(list :base "html" :path (concat muse-path "\\HTML")))))
If you want a nicer muse-define-project syntax, write a method or play around with a macro :)

I'm trying to set up Muse so that my projects (and ultimately my emacs setup files) live in a Dropbox folder. I've set an environment variable, DROPBOX, to where the folder is mounted on my Win7 system. However, I can't publish my projects. My emacs init.el contains:
(setq drop-box (getenv "DROPBOX"))
(setq muse-path (concat drop-box "\\Muse"))
(setq load-path (add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacsdir/muse/lisp"))
(require 'muse-mode)
(require 'muse-html)
(require 'muse-latex)
(require 'muse-project)
(setq muse-project-alist
'(("website" ; my various writings
("~/Pages" :default "index")
(:base "html" :path "~/public_html")
(:base "pdf" :path "~/public_html/pdf"))
("Info"
(muse-path :default "index")
(:base "html" :path (concat muse-path "\\HTML"))
)))
But when I try to C-c C-p, I get:
Assertion failed: (file-name-directory path)
Any clues about what I'm doing wrong, or how to fix it?
Thank you!
