Just testing it I noticed a small "feature" (possibly bug). We talked about buffers being opened in the past when publishing. Now the project publish is nice and quiet except for one case: I break my site down to many subdirs each with an index.org/html. If I open my "homepage" e.g ~/myweb/index.org, and then publish the entire project while in that buffer then any other "index" replaces it during the publish process - it is was replaced by ~/myweb/projects/index.org<2>" in the focused window. Not a day breaker I admit, but still a slight "blip" in the otherwise super quiet publish process. And the quoting works fine, thanks for the explanation.
