Hm. Well, we could certainly just skip that patch, and apply only the
others to org-mode, if we want to keep it.
The problem with doing that is that when I am fixing things (e.g., I am
working to make links work with various wiki export formats), I don't
have the energy to maintain the HTML backend. So it's likely to
bit-rot, which would make it turn into a /bad/ exemplar.
What do you think?
I think also we should try to assemble a single org document with all
kinds of markup that are expected to work, and use that to make tests.
An export facility is actually easy to regression test.... I just
haven't gotten around to it. Do you know if there is such a document
for one of the other exporters that I could piggyback on?
Best,
