Hi,

I have the org-html-postamble-format set to the below:

(setq org-html-postamble-format
                  `(("en"
                     ,(concat "Exported using "
                              ;; "%c" is replaced with
`org-html-creator-string'
                              ;; Emacs <VERSION> (Org mode <VERSION>)
                              "<div style=\"display: inline\"
class=\"creator\">"
                              "%c</div> "
                              "by %a. — "
                              "<div style=\"display: inline\"
class=\"date\">"
                              "%d</div>"))))


It works great except for the cases where I have set a document author to
nothing using

#+AUTHOR:

What would be the best way to set the postamble so that the "by %a" portion
does not get printed if the %a value is "".

Right now, if the author is nil, the postamble gets exported as:

Exported using
Emacs <http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/> 25.0.50.1 (Org
<http://orgmode.org/> mode 8.3.3)

how about using a postamble function instead of
html-postamble-format, something like

(let ((author (car (plist-get info :author))))
  (when (not (equal author ""))
    "by " author ". "))
" - "

instead of "by %a. - "

and similar for the rest of the %-thingies.

Note, you'll probably have to inspect the plist, the (car ...) I'm
using in some project for getting the title.

Best regards
Robert

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply.

> how about using a postamble function instead of html-postamble-format

Does it mean that I need to look into modifying the
org-html--build-pre/postamble function?

If so, I will start looking into it but it will take a while as it full of
elisp that I have never used (until today maybe): format-spec, plist-get
and a lot of assoc's and assq's :)

No, Robert is talking about the variable org-html-postamble,
which you can set to a function. No need to muck around with
the internals of org.

C-h v org-html-postamble says

,----
| org-html-postamble is a variable defined in ‘ox-html.el’.
| Its value is auto
| 
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means insert a postamble in HTML export.
| 
| When set to ‘auto’, check against the
| ‘org-export-with-author/email/creator/date’ variables to set the
| content of the postamble.  When set to a string, use this string
| as the postamble.  When t, insert a string as defined by the
| formatting string in ‘org-html-postamble-format’.
| 
| When set to a function, apply this function and insert the
| returned string.  The function takes the property list of export
| options as its only argument.
| 
| Setting :html-postamble in publishing projects will take
| precedence over this variable.
`----

Try

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun foo (info)
  "This is my postamble")

(setq org-html-postamble (function foo))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and complicate the function as necessary to produce what you want.
Of course, you can use an anonymous function too:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-html-postamble (function (lambda (info)
                                     "This is my postamble")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

No, I have two functions, one for the preamble, one for the postamble,
both returning a string.  In the project alist I set :html-preamble
and :html-postamble to those functions (beware of typos):


  ;; pre- and postamble for html export
  (defun linux-e-preamble (info)
    (with-temp-buffer
      (insert-file-contents "~/linuxdocs/html/preamble.html")    
      (let ((title (car (plist-get info :title))))
        (when title
          (if (stringp title)
              (let ((case-fold-search t)) ; case-insensitive
                (goto-char (point-min))
                (while (search-forward "<org-title />" nil t)
                  (replace-match title))))))
      (buffer-string)))

  (defun linux-e-postamble (info)
    (with-temp-buffer
      (insert-file-contents "~/linuxdocs/html/postamble.html")    
      (buffer-string)))

  ;; add linux to org-publish-poject-alist
  (add-to-list 'org-publish-project-alist
               '("linux-e-html"
                 :base-directory "~/linuxdocs"
                 :base-extension "org"
                 :publishing-directory "~/public_html/linuxdocs"
                 :publishing-function org-html-publish-to-html
                 :html-head "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\"
  href=\"css/linuxdocs.css\" />" :html-head-include-default-style nil
                 :html-head-include-scripts nil
                 :html-preamble linux-e-preamble
                 :html-postamble linux-e-postamble
                 ))


Best regards
Robert

Thank you guys.

With your help, I came up with this solution and it works great! I tested
it with all 4 combinations (author=nil/non-nil and date=nil/non-nil).

# #+AUTHOR:
#+AUTHOR: Kaushal Modi
# #+DATE:
#+DATE: {{{time(%b %e %Y\, %a)}}}

;; Customize the HTML postamble
(defun modi/org-html-postamble-fn (info)
  "My custom postamble for org to HTML exports.
INFO is the property list of export options."
  (let ((author (car (plist-get info :author)))
        (creator (plist-get info :creator))
        (date (car (org-export-get-date info)))
        (d1 "<div style=\"display: inline\" ")
        (d2 "</div>"))
    (concat "Exported using "
            d1 "class=\"creator\">" creator d2 ; emacs and org versions
            (when author
              (concat " by " author))
            (when date
              (concat " on " d1 "class=\"date\">" date d2))
            ".")))
(setq org-html-postamble #'modi/org-html-postamble-fn) ; default: 'auto
