Subject: export to temporary HTML file and open

Hi all,
This may be of some interest to list members, and possibly for org
mode itself.
I find myself wanting to get a nice view of org files, for printing or
otherwise, and would like to export to HTML. But I don’t want to have
a bunch of HTML files in my org directory. Here is a hack to allow you
to export to a temporary HTML file and open in a browser, for when you
don’t want to create an HTML file in your org directory.
best, Erik
(defun org-html-export-to-temp-file
(&optional async subtreep visible-only body-only ext-plist)
"Export current buffer to a temporary HTML file.
If narrowing is active in the current buffer, only export its
narrowed part.
If a region is active, export that region.
A non-nil optional argument ASYNC means the process should happen
asynchronously. The resulting file should be accessible through
the `org-export-stack' interface.
When optional argument SUBTREEP is non-nil, export the sub-tree
at point, extracting information from the headline properties
first.
When optional argument VISIBLE-ONLY is non-nil, don't export
contents of hidden elements.
When optional argument BODY-ONLY is non-nil, only write code
between \"<body>\" and \"</body>\" tags.
EXT-PLIST, when provided, is a property list with external
parameters overriding Org default settings, but still inferior to
file-local settings.
Return output file's name."
