This may be a question for Nicolas ---
I seem to have reached the limit of my emacs-fu. I am looking at
adding XOXO output to the S5 exporter (S5 has built-in support for
XOXO structured documents) and was trying to use an element (headline)
filter to modify the document structure. I am also trying to change
the div id to make them more friendly to the deck.js goto function
(which accumulates and displays the ids as a menu).
When i look at the `contents' passed to the filter in edebug, i can see
the element properties (level, raw-title, etc) in the output but I
cannot figure out how to access them.
On the other hand, it would be easier if ox-html were modified so that
org-html-headline uses a variable (or callback) for the format of the
wrapper (currently "<div id=\"%s...") and a callback for the div id
generation. This would add flexibility for inherited backends as well
as allow for more "html5ish" structures (e.g., <section> and <article>
instead of generic <divs>).
The structure of the new exporter has made if very easy for me to add
new html based exporters using the derived backends. Minor changes to
ox-html would make this even more flexible.
I am willing make the changes to ox-html if the approach is agreeable.
tia,
rick

I'm not sure about what you mean here.

You cannot access them. You have access to the full parse tree with
(plist-get info :parse-tree), but not to the parsed current headline.
Filters only give you access to strings produced by the back-end.
Anyway, you still can modify headline div attributes from there.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just fork `org-html-headline' in your back-end
in order to replace the divs with something you need?
On the other hand, there are a couple of variables providing a way to
modify divs ids in ox-html.el. I suppose one more doesn't hurt. It may
be even better to collect them in a single defcustom.
What do you think?

Well, `org-html-headline' does a lot and I'm trying to rewrite as
little as possible. Actually, i already wrap `org-html-headline', so i
could fix the :CUSTOM_ID on the way in. I think i was looking for a
solution to both the wrapper element and id in the same place (a
filter).

What I think is missing is a way to customize the element used for the
wrapper, and possiblly the id/class prefixes. The simple solution
would be to add an `org-headline-wrapper-element' customization
(defaulting to "div"), or if allowing change to the id and class:
'("div" "outline-container-%s" "outline-%d").
If you were to over-engineer it,something along the lines of the way
the latex exporter specifies the headline hierarchies for one of the
document classes would work :}
Likewise, it would make sense for the `org-html-divs' to become a list
of '(element . class) instead of a list of just classes. e.e.g
(defcustom org-html-divs '(("header" . "preamble")
("section" . "content")
("footer" . "postamble"))

The <div> </div> aren't really content elements but merely structuring
or styling elements.
I think there should be a clear separation between contents and how it
is wrapped. The base HTML exporter should just generate content with no
divs at all. There could be a fancy HTML exporter which does generate
divs.
I can think of "splitting" the current HTML exporter in to a base-html
backend and an fancy-html backend. Rick can derive from base-html
backend instead of fancy-html.
The current HTML exporter is one in the circle.

The problem here is much similar to what Torrey was saying in other
thread wrt to TOC "pseudo"-elements [1]. The Id property is not the TOC
itself but enhances (or particularizes) that specific transoding.
Nicolas,
Let me work with Rick Frankel on this. I will take over this thread.

Here is a quick patch. Not meant to be applied but meant for testing
purpose only.
So there is a html backend which doesn't add divs and there is a HTML
backend that adds divs. (The difference is between html and HTML, in
capslock).
The `org-export-dispatch' uses HTML backend, while you can continue to
derive from html backend and add divs of your own.
Try this patch and let me know what you find. Or you can circulate a
make-shift patch which improves the attached version to suit your needs.
I can formalize this patch once I get a go ahead from you.
