Hello,
I'm not really familiar with the internals of the built-in html

[https://github.com/balddotcat/ox-slimhtml]  might be closer to what
you're looking for.

best regards,
András

I have searched the mailing list, and have not found anything. Perhaps I've missed something; there are a lot of results for "html class id" or similar searches. Thanks.
