These lines start with a '#+' followed by a keyword, a colon, and then individual words defining a setting.

What I mean is that quite often you want to include some kind of web page in the titlepage, be it a LaTeX book/textbook/manual, Beamer or reveal.js presentation etc. The problem is, LaTeX does not have a syntax for this (it is too old for that, apparently...). Interestingly, Beamer doesn't have anything for that, either. In org-reveal, however, the "author" and "email" are just generic <h2>'s (in fact, I fixed it in my config by adding them a "titlepage" class, so that they can be different from <h2>'s on regular slides). So the problem is: it would be (imho) useful to have a "homepage" added to general metadata, but it is not clear how to translate this to e.g. LaTeX's (rather ancient) concept of metadata. (Interestingly, some other classes, e.g. memoir, koma-script and titlepage, also do not seem to cater for this need. I'm going to ask on TeX.SE if there's any class/package enabling putting a url on the titlepage...) So while (I assume) adding a #+HOMEPAGE field/option in Org would be easy, it is not obvious how to render it for different exporters.

Thanks for the explanations, I get it now; but unless I'm really tired (could be), you only mention backends that do not support a concept of "homepage"... right? There is #+HTML_LINK_HOME in the ox-rss.el backend to specify a link to the homepage (different from the baseurl, since you don't want to use a baseurl in a RSS feed.) So maybe that's a start. -- Bastien ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Right. I did not really use other backends; what drives my suggestion is a /need/ for a url in the titlepage, not an /existence/ of such feature in other tools. (It would be hard for me to believe that I'm the only one needing this, btw...) > There is #+HTML_LINK_HOME in the ox-rss.el backend to specify a link > to the homepage (different from the baseurl, since you don't want to > use a baseurl in a RSS feed.) So maybe that's a start. I see. I'll look into this tomorrow.

I imagine something similar could be easily added to the standard classes.
