two questions about the new exporter (#+Style: and org-export-html-postamble)

two questions about the new exporter (#+Style: and org-export-html-postamble)

[Eric Schulte]

Hi,

First let me say kudos to Nicolas for the implementation and to him and
Bastien for making the transition, it seems rather like changing the
engine on a plane in mid flight (all while handling a rowdy group of
passengers).

For the first time I'm really using this new exporter, and I have
noticed two thing which surprise me and seem at first glance to be
behaving incorrectly (although it is likely my expectations which are
incorrect).

1. The value of org-export-html-postamble doesn't appear to be honored.
   I often set this variable in a file local line at the top of a file,
   and despite setting it to nil I still see a postamble in my exported
   html.

2. Similarly, I use #+Style: lines at the top of Org-mode files to make
   the CSS changes necessary for my code blocks.  This also doesn't seem
   to be making it through the html export process.

   #+Style: <style type="text/css">pre{background:#232323; color:#E6E1DC;}h1,h2{border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: gray;}</style>

Please let me know if I can provide any more information.

Thanks,

Rainer had the same question. I believe such variables are considered
backend-specific and so the names have been changed: they've lost the
"export-" part.

In general, you might want to try changing the name and trying again.

Presumably that will be clarified when the documentation is available,
but for now I hope it's a reasonable guideline (but subject to corrections).

You need to use `org-html-postamble' instead of
`org-export-html-postamble'.

In general, the org-export-* prefix is for cross-exporters variables,
while backend-specific variables are names after the prefix of the
relevant backend.  I recently updated the manual wrt this, but this
needs more work.

Use #+HTML_STYLE

Several users (T.F. Torrey, Sébastien) suggested to use HTML_HEAD
instead, which I tend to find better too.  Just not had the time
to make the change so far.

Thanks for trying the new exporters!!

Hope this gets you started in the right direction,

When publishing a project it works fine with
org-html-postamble.

I believe, it should be 
html_style
now.

Warm regards,
 Stefan

Note the *criminally* insane, in the passage below.  Such people are
worse than mere rogues.

Real-life often supports and but oddly enough also challenges
stereotypes.

,---- http://www.amazon.com/The-Professor-Madman-Insanity-Dictionary/dp/0060839783

ps: I haven't read the book myself but seems like good and an
interesting read.

Switching to the new exporter (was: two questions about the new exporter (#+Style: and org-export-html-postamble))

[Bastien]

I updated the notes on Worg:

  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#new-exporter-switch

Let's keep this FAQ as accurate as possible while we are
moving toward Org 8.0.

Thanks!
