Hi:

I have a question about how to define custom link type, which before
9.0 used the (9.0) deprecated  `org-add-link-type`.

1. Let me first provide the context:

There is often a need to generate, for org links export/publish to
Html, elements where img src URL starts with a slash, like this

<img src="/images/a.jpg" >

The only way that was possible before v9, for this to be exported from
a link such as

[[/images/a.jgp]]

was to use a method described in

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14684263/how-to-org-mode-image-absolute-path-of-export-html

- Basically, the solution described there is

a) define a custom link type such as "img"
b) in org,  use [[img:images/a.jpg]]
c) define two functions handling the img link in org and on
export/publish, and call (org-add-link-type "img"
'org-custom-link-img-follow 'org-custom-link-img-export)

2. The problem and question

In org 9.0, we get `org-add-link-type ... This function is obsolete
since Org 9.0 use `org-link-set-parameters' instead.

My problem is I have no idea how to, in a practical sense, use
`org-link-set-parameters` to define a custom link type "img" and
handle it's image handling in both org buffer and Html publish.

My question is, are there any links and examples how one would do the
above in 9.0?

Thanks
Milan

You can find a many examples of the new link syntax here:
http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2016/11/04/New-link-features-in-org-9/

You will probably be able to reuse much of your old code  and this:

(org-link-set-parameters
   "img"
   :follow (your-old-follow-code)
   :export (your-old-export-code))

Great, thanks very much John.

As a minor note I had to make a slight change

(org-link-set-parameters
  "img"
  :follow 'org-custom-link-img-follow     ; my old code
  :export 'org-custom-link-img-export)  ; my old code

And then it works equivalent with the previous version in 8.

Thanks
Milan

PS

(There is another note which is for a new thread: both in 8 and 9,
while they export what I need, actually do not display the image in
org buffer. The reason seem to be the  org-display-inline-images is
only looking for the "file" link but I need to debug that first)

No problem. I usually use lambda functions there, but if you use
functions like you have the quoted form is right. Glad it was helpful!
