Author: %a (%e)

\n

Date: %d

\n

Generated by %c

\n") to your .emacs and either restart emacs or evaluate the form (place the cursor after the closing paren and press `C-x C-e'); then export normally. In principle, I think this should work with a file option, but a few minutes of experimentation have not brought any happiness. See the documentation for the variable org-export-html-postamble-format for the %X escapes: ,---- | %a stands for the author. | %e stands for the email(s). | %d stands for the date. | %c will be replaced by information about Org/Emacs. | %v will be replaced by `org-export-html-validation-link'. | | If you need to use a "%" character, you need to escape it | like that: "%%". `---- As for your previous email re. @, the very latest git seems to have fixed that problem. But there is obviously some churn in the HTML export area. Your idea about going back to 7.4 might be the way to go for a little while until all this is cleared up. Nick
