#+BEGIN_html/#+END_html tags not exporting literally to html anymore?

#+BEGIN_html/#+END_html tags not exporting literally to html anymore?

I just did an update to my org install, and when I recompiled my notes, I
noticed that I was not getting literal exporting for things between a
#+BEGIN_HTML and #+END_HTML tag, however #+HTML: prefix still exports
properly.

Am I to assume that

#+BEGIN_HTML
#+END_HTML

will be completely replaced now with

#+BEGIN_EXPORT html
#+END_HTML

If so, is there a way to make compilation backwards compatible. I have a
lot of old org files that would be a pain to update.  Further, all the
documentation on the org site is also out of date.

Yes with #+end_export of course.

a simple regex replace (or two I guess) will fix all in a file?

Yes, I agree --- but that's a burden on long time users even if it is a
simple sed script.

I just wonder why the #+BEGIN_HTML was removed in the first place? What
harm was it doing? And, why was this change made without updating the
documentation to reflect it?

Better still `org-repair-export-blocks' will fix them.

It can be found in the

: *** New syntax for export blocks

section of ORG-NEWS.

As the ORG-NEWS section above notes, it fixes some parsing issues.

It is updated. For example, see

 	(info "(org) Special blocks")
and
 	(info "(org) results")

and in ORG-NEWS.

I see that now, but the online documentation is still out dated:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Quoting-HTML-tags.html

Is there a push cycle to keep the online documents up to date with the
source documentation? Or is that controlled differently?

The online documentation is for the released version and its
maintenance (i.e. git release `8.3.5' and git branch `maint').

Your org version is from the development branch `master'.  It is
documented in the doc/ directory.  To create the HTML manual run `gmake
html' in the top directory of the source; for a printable PDF run
`gmake pdf'.  The final manual will also be in the doc/ directory.

Best regards
Robert

That's because the online docs are for the stable version (the version
you get from the maint branch of the git repo).

If you are using latest (i.e. the master branch of the git repo), then
you have to build and use the docs that come with it:

  make info

I do

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
INFOPATH=$HOME/src/emacs/org/org-mode/doc:/usr/local/share/info:/usr/share/info
export INFOPATH
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in my login shell initialization file to make sure that I pick the
version I built over any other versions installed on my system.
There are other ways to do that - and even for this one, you will
have to modify the paths appropriately.

Thanks for the comments... very helpful! This is a perfect example of when
living on the bleeding edge of a library and searching for solutions can
come into conflict. I'll stick to looking at the docs built off the git
repo.
