I read the thread multiple times already but I do not understand exactly the issue risen. >From the OP: "Emacs quotes Github, a non-free platform." If that's the real problem, we can remove the location of the "htmlize" library from the error message and be done with it. Note that the Org manual still talks about iOS and Android, which are not free either. >From Richard Stallman: "Emacs should not advise people to load anything from outside Emacs". Org Export already advises people to load LaTeX libraries, MathJax, optionally minted, etc. Org Babel requires external libraries like "asy-mode.el" (ob-asymptote.el), "simple-httpd" (ob-js.el)... This is a non-issue for us, because it is inherent to Org and thus cannot be solved by Org. >From Glenn Morris: "Emacs already includes htmlfontify, since 23.2. Is there some obstacle to Org using that?" This is begging for a specific solution to a not-so-well defined problem. In any case, Kaushal Modi answered this one. It is nice if this happens, but could we first define correctly the problem so we can tell if this is the only possible solution for it? >From Richard Stallman: "To motivate people to do this, I say we should not ship another release with that reference to GitHub." The issue pointed out here seems to be that Org developers or enthusiasts are not motivated enough to make Org use htmlfontify instead of htmlize. Note this is very different from the initial report. Richard Stallman then suggests a possible fix for that issue. It may or may not work; after all these years spent in education, "motivating people" is a topic that mostly eludes me. Anyway, since this point contains both the question and the answer, I don't know what Org could do about it. This is a genuine question: what /exactly/ do you want Org developers to solve, assuming they can? Also, if they cannot, who is willing to give them a hand? Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou 0x80A93738
