no org-export-to-html-and-open since distribution switch

no org-export-to-html-and-open since distribution switch

Hi List,

since I have switched distributions from Mint to Arch, I have lost one
of my most-loved Org features: Export to HTML and open.

When I choose to export something, I type C-c  C-e C-s h o as I usually
do. But now the HTML opens in my agenda buffer, and not in my browser
anymore.

When I right-click on http links in my org document, the browser
correctly opens them.

When I command M-x org-export-to-html-and-open, it says [No match].

The symptoms are very much like described in
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/2387/browser-not-opening-when-exporting-html-from-org-mode
, but unfortunately there is no documented solution.

My org version reports as „Org-mode version 8.2.10
(8.2.10-41-g42228a-elpaplus @
/home/ehret/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20150615/)“.

I tried moving the elpa installation out of the way and installing a
distribution package, aur/emacs-org-mode, but the result is the same.

Emacs will likely always feel alien to me, but my love to org mode is
bitter sweeeet.

Any help or hints are greatly appreciated!

Best, Sven.

That function might have existed in org 7.9.x and earlier, but the exporter
underwent major restructuring in the org 8.0 release and a lot of things
were changed/renamed. The current version does this for C-c C-e h o:

(org-open-file (org-html-export-to-html <args>))

org-html-export-to-html writes an HTML file and org-open-file opens it.
See the doc string for the latter: C-h f org-open-file RET

You might have to customize org-file-apps to override the default for
the HTML file type (although see below first). For me, the default is
"mailcap" (determined through the system specific variable
org-file-apps-defaults-gnu - the default is the "t" entry), so it uses
the entry in ~/.mailcap or /etc/mailcap (if it exists). Mine says:

text/html; /usr/bin/google-chrome %s

so it opens it in chrome.

The problem here is that there are too many cooks in the kitchen. I
prefer to leave things at default as far as org is concerned and use
mailcap (which is used by other applications as well). Other people
prefer to hardwire things into org-file-apps which is fine for org but
of course it is not used by any other applications. Other people prefer
to route everything through their desktop environment's Open function
(e.g xdg-open for Gnome) which uses its own routing mechanism (generally
different from mailcap).

I suggest you pick *one* method and stick with it through thick and
thin: ignore everything else. Using more than one leads to madness.
The path of least resistance is probably customizing org-file-apps.

Hi Nick, you deserve a medal. As I did experiment with xdg-open (never
needed to fiddle with that before), adding a line to my mailcap file
(also never was manually edited before. Perhaps once, for mc) and
restarting emacs made the browser open again. A thousand thanks to you,
not only for solving my immediate problem, but also for your concise
explanations. Cheers! Sven. Message: 11 Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:02:25

Hi,

What is your WM/DM?  If it's Gnome that might be the reason.  There's an
thread a couple of weeks back with a workaround for Gnome.

Hi!

The truth is, I not only switched from Mint to Arch, but also from
Cinnamon to i3. So right, this should be taken into account.

I have since been able to solve the problem by adding configuration to
~/.mailcap. Thanks!

Best, Sven.
