text background when exporting as HTML

text background when exporting as HTML

[David Rogoff]

Hi all.

I'm using orgmode for outlines and documentation.  Since no one else I 
work with does this, I export to HTML which generally works fine. 
However, I've got a problem with embedded code samples using #+BEGIN_SRC 
/ #+END_SRC.   The faces for the source code are set up for a black 
background.  The exported HTML picked up the face colors, but the 
background is white, so they're mostly unreadable.  Is there a 
(hopefully simple) way to tell the HTML export to specify a black 
background for these blocks?

FYI, emacs 23.3.1, REH Linux, orgmode 7.5

Thanks,

  David

Check out the info manual: (org) CSS support
This might be the easiest way.

Thanks Eric.  I searched around the mailing list archives and found this:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/19605/focus=19633

I just added this to the beginning of my org file and it works great:

#+STYLE: <style> pre { background-color: #191919 } pre { color:#00FF00 } 
</style>

This matches the colors I use for the default font in emacs.
