HTML export without all <div ...> tags

HTML export without all <div ...> tags

[Detlef Steuer]

Hi!

I'm in the process of adapting cmsimple (www.cmsimple.dk) to use our university's corporate design. Cmsimple in its core is a php script, which takes _one_
html file and creates the complete layout of a site on the fly while splitting the file apart at h[123] levels.

Now I want to create that one html file with org-mode. What else? 

If I could get org-mode to export pure html without all the <div> tags I think I am done. But how to explain to orgmode to be dumb?

The variable Org-Export-Html-Style-Include-Default ist set to nil, so no definitions included. Nevertheless the way divs are grouped around headlines seems to disturb cmsimple and its layout. 
At least, if I remove all divs the layout is just fine.

Is there a way to get rid of all div tags in exported html?

Thx
Detlef

AFAIK, the <div> tags are hard-coded into org-export-as-html. 

You might try org-export-generic in the contrib directory of the git
repository. 

Another (more complex) solution: export to LaTeX and then use a
converter such as hevea or tex4ht to create a basic html file.

Too bad cmsimple doesn't parse org source files instead of html! ;)

Another solution: 
1. write a function to remove <div> and </div> tags
2. call that function in a post-processing hook. 
   I'm pretty sure there's a post processing hook 
   for html-export.

cheers,
Giovanni

I guess the easiest would be to just post-process the html file
produced by Org.  For example with perl (untested):

perl -ap -e 's/<div [^>]*>//g' orgoutput.html > simple.html

So simple and elegant. It's amazing how many simple tricks you learn by
hanging around this list. :)

Carsten,  

I'curious (and also a bit provocative ;-), 
does your command work also for </div> tags ?

Is there a way to remove both <div> and </div> 
in the same line?

cheers,
Giovanni

Hi Giovanni,

good catch, no, it does not.  This will:

perl -ap -e 's/<div [^>]*>|<\/div>//g' orgoutput.html > simple.html

Many divs may be in the same ling because of the /g switch on the  
substitution command.  It causes the rest of the line after the match  
to be parsed again.

This works too

perl -ap -e 's@</?div[^>]*>@@g' org-mode.html >/tmp/simple.html
