Hi,
I'm still in the process of managing a project with Org while trying to
evangelize my colleagues to Org. The goal is to share documents in the
simplest possible way.
What I'm trying to do is to have my style be embedded (inline) to my exported
HTML file.
Today, it can done by customizing org-export-html-style or add my whole style
in my Org buffer with the #+STYLE directive.
This has the following disadvantages:
- I have to share my .emacs file with my customizations in order for other
people be able to export the Org file as required. Thus if someone has
another configuration file, it will not work;
- The style itself (the CSS) is not easily testable and not separate from the
data (it is included in my Org file or in my .emacs).
It would be good to specify a file for the style in the Org buffer itself and
have an option telling Org if the style has to be embedded (or inline) to the
exported HTML or not.
Having this option has the following advantages:
- my exported file is self-contained and is easily shareable;
- anybody can export the Org file and will get the desired result (even with a
different Emacs config);
- the CSS itself is easily testable and maintainable by different guys and
can even be a different project.
What do you think?
Is it possible to achieve this with the current version of Org?
Any suggestion is welcome.
Regards,
Francesco

Hi,
The following would make the exported HTML link to an external stylesheet.
#+STYLE: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="my_style.css"/>
But that 's not what you're after? You want the stylesheet to be
/outside/ (linked from) your Org file, but /embedded in/ the exported
HTML? Did I get that right?

Indeed. That would be the ideal solution for me: it would bring all the
advantages I'm looking for:
- separate files for developing separately the style and the content;
- anybody could export the file as no special Emacs configuration is needed;
- the exported file would be self-contained.
Do you think about one way of doing this?
Thanks,
Francesco

Something roughly along these lines, perhaps (warning: I'm still
fairly new to Elisp and this comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY):
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun cm/org-export-html-embed-style ()
(make-local-variable 'org-export-html-style)
(setq org-export-html-style "")
(let ((re "#\\+STYLE:\\s +<link\\s +rel=[\"']stylesheet[\"']\\s
+type=[\"']text/css[\"']\\s +href=[\"']\\(.*\\)[\"']/>")
(oldbuf (current-buffer))
stylesheet
css)
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward re (point-max) t)
(setq stylesheet (match-string 1))
(with-current-buffer (find-file stylesheet)
(setq css (format "\n<style>\n%s\n</style>\n"
(buffer-string))))
(setq org-export-html-style (concat org-export-html-style
css)))
(switch-to-buffer oldbuf)))
(org-add-hook 'org-export-first-hook 'cm/org-export-html-embed-style)
#+END_SRC
Usage: Link to one or more external stylesheets from your Org file.
: #+STYLE: <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='test5.css'/>
The contents of the stylesheet(s) will be embedded in the exported
HTML between <style> tags.
The function swaps the ontent of the external stylesheets into
org-export-html-style. If you're already using that variable, the
above might screw things up. I'd prefer to use
org-export-html-style-extra, but for some reason that didn't work..
This function doesn't remove the links to the external stylesheets,
because it operates on the original document, not on a copy. You could
add an org-export-preprocess-hook to remove the links, reusing the
regexp from this example. (Running the above function as an
org-export-preprocess-hook does not work.)
Hope this helps,
CM
