I'm hopeful that, by having a fairly fleshed-out test suite included, if it doesn't work for someone, the user and I should be able to track down the issue fairly easily. > Are you aware of https://github.com/punchagan/org2blog?

There were various things about it for which I did not care, and they seemed fairly fundamental and unlikely to change. I suspect writing a blogging addition for org-mode is today's equivalent of writing your own templating engine for Perl: the bar for entry is low enough that the slightest disagreement with an existing one is cause for writing your own. ;) > - inclusion of image files > - matematical symbols (that is, wordpress can display LaTeX stuff like > $latex a^2+b^2=c^2$ nicely. > - syntax code highlighting, native to wordpress. I do want to add more sophisticated content handling capabilities. Image (or other) attachments is an item I want myself. While I support the idea of other, more sophisticated formatting, since I don't have a direct stake in most of them, I'm not sure what the best way to present them is. If org2blog's presentation seems sensible, I will probably follow that just to be compatible. Incidentally, I've tagged 0.10 which has converted to the org-8.0 exporter. In fact, it's probably good that you brought this up now: I do need to implement some additional processing of the exported content (even when you present it with full HTML input, where whitespace shouldn't matter, stupid WordPress inserts line breaks whereever there are newlines). I figure if I design it correctly, the additional processing should be extensible to support the sort of rich content you're talking about as well. Mike.
