To strengthen my argument for the generic backend agnostic driver in
org-odt branch, here are few concrete examples from org-s5.
org-s5 requires an insider understanding (see [1]) of what org does in
the background. Using my exporter wouldn't place such a huge
responsibility on the user part.
With [2] in mind, `org-export-content-div' on the current org-html.el be
"redefined".
[3] could also be elegantly handled with the new driver.
Let me re-iterate, I strongly urge that such one-off solutions be built
on top of html exporter in org-odt branch. It will help make the new
backend-agnostic driver evolve and more usable. Everyone would benefit.
While we are on the topic of presentations, let me add that with my new
exporter building a html/odt presentations along OpenOffice lines [4]
would be quite easy. That is one can make a generic presentation driver
out of the existing document driver.
IMHO let's not fallback on hacks when elegant solutions are readily
available.
Let me note that I am not interested in presentations so much as to
build a patch for or improve org-s5/org-html5.
In effect, my argument is for embracing and extending the
org-html/org-odt and help it evolve in more useful ways.
ps: I recognize that org-s5 creates useful presentations and gets the
job done.
