Hi,

I started using org-mode to write blog posts for posting on
blogger.com.  I am aware of org-googlecl, but I am looking for a more
lightweight solution to the following problem:

How can I export only the _content_ of a page as HTML into a buffer?

Specifically,

1. I only want the stuff inside the <div id="content"> ... </div>,
2. Disabling the generation of a H1 heading from the title,
3. no postamble/preamble.

I would like to give the appropriate options at the beginning of the
file to achieve this and just do C-c C-e H or something similar, but I
don't know what options to use.

I can do all of this manually, but automating it would be easier.

Thanks,

Tamas

Have a look at 
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.html. 
Specifically you need to set :body-only t in your 
org-publish-project-alist. However, I am not sure how you can set up 
publishing to a buffer, rather than a file.

Ian.

Hello,

There is also the possibility to do it without further configuration.

Typing
M-- M-x org-export-region-as-html

exports the HTML of the selected region only, no header text and so on.

Hi,

try all or part of this:
- select a region to export
- do C-u C-c C-e R

(C-u prefix: body only, R: region only)

Yours,
Christian

Hi Tamas,

As a partial solution for you, here is the latest complete solution
for me.  Perhaps you can tailor it to your needs.

I also include a pretty fast exact word count command.

Samuel


(defconst alpha-org-blog-html-buffer "alpha-org-blog.html")
(defun alpha-org-blog-subtree ()
  "Copy the subtree, converted to HTML, for pasting into Blogger
as a blog post.

If there is an active region, use that instead.

No other software needs to be installed.  No temporary file is
created.

For an example of this code in action, see
http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/ .

===

You have to turn off Blogger's conversion of newline to br tags
in two places in settings.  This requires the new Blogger post
editor.

The HTML code is left in a buffer.  To display it in a browser,
use M-x browse-url-of-buffer or similar.

mail2blogger is a very intriguing option here and I'd like to do
that.  Avoids the web entirely.  See comments.

===

The top level headline is not interpreted with Blogger title
semantics.  By default it is not exported at all, because Blogger
already has a title.  For both posts and pages, Blogger's title
field forms the URL and is therefore manually entered.

===

Advanced:

You can export the top level headline with :title:.  For pasting
into Blogger, I don't do this, because it shows up with what
looks like two titles.  In the future, we can make it work with
backends like mail2blogger.  Then it will have title
semantics (the top level will become the title).

In Blogger, pages are different from posts.  They are accessed by
tabs like About, Contribute, Contact.

:title: is also useful if you want to try a different strategy.
I did this for my first blog post.  You can change whether to
include title fields in Blogger settings.  You can only do this
for posts.  Turning off titles has one convenience: you don't
have to enter them manually.  It also has two
drawbacks: (1) people who link to your post by copying that link
cannot do so (they can get it from other places, including the
URL bar and Archives in the sidebar) and (2) the URL gets formed
a litle funnily.

===

I use Blogger.com for hosted blogging instead of Wordpress.com
because Google has a better attitude toward accessibility.
