I am looking at the concept again, and I feel that we may be missing
some flexibility here. I do not like the fact that each feature can only
have a simple implementation within specific backend.
Imagine that we would like add a top _and also_ bottom comment when the
Org buffer contains emoji. With the proposed patch, it will be
impossible.
I am thinking about something conceptually similar, but more general.
Instead of detecting "features" in the whole document, let's consider
that for every exported Org element (including org-data, representing
the whole document) we may emit different export output depending on
certain condition being satisfied for either original Org raw source of
the exported element, the element AST, or the exported element contents.
Let's call it "transcoder conditions".
What I have in mind is an ability to parametrize the transcoders like
the following:
(org-export-define-backend 'html
'((paragraph . ((paragraph-is-a-link? figure-transcoder :name figure)
(:unless 'figure paragraph-transcoder))))
:transcoder-conditions
'((paragraph . ((paragraph-is-a-link? (lambda (paragraph contents info)...))))))
Several ideas in the above:
1. Name features as "transcoder conditions"
2. The transcoder conditions are now linked to specific Org AST element.
They may not only be matched against the whole parse tree + whole raw
Org text, but also against the specific branch of AST + chunk of raw
Org text corresponding to the branch + the actual exported contents
of the AST children.
3. "feature implementations" are no longer needed. Instead, export
transcoders can contain the implementation lists inline. Each
implementation is selected not only depending on the presence of the
"feature"/transcoder condition, but also depending on multiple
features or arbitrary lisp expression results.
4. :when/:prevents apply to specific (possibly named) implementations.
This makes more sense than matching against feature.
For example, presence of svg images in latex export may or may not
mean that \usepackage{svg} is being used, depending on svg
implementation. We want to match against \usepackage{svg}
specifically rather than only against the presence of svg images.
WDYT?
