Summary:
========
I would like to be able to set =:html-htmlize-output-type= on a
per-project basis.  That does not seem to be working.  If I have
~htmlize.el~ installed and set =:html-htmlize-output-type css=, then I
get hardcoded values for the colours being used in the code blocks.  If
I don't have ~htmlize.el~ installed, I get plain text.  To get CSS class
names, I have to do an explicit =(setq org-html-htmlize-output-type
'css)= which effects all publishing projects.


1.  What exactly did you do?

I set =:html-htmlize-output-type css= in the _blog-non-prod_ project.
I also set =:html-htmlize-output-type 'css= and then tried both values
with =htmlize-output-type= as well.

2.  What did you expect to happen?

I was expecting that the generated HTML would have code blocks with
class names in the CSS so that I could apply the CSS I wanted.  A sample
of what I was expecting:

<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-C"><span class="org-preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="org-string">&lt;stdio.h&gt;</span>
<span class="org-preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="org-string">&lt;iso646.h&gt;</span>

<span class="org-type">int</span> <span class="org-function-name">main</span>()
{
  <span class="org-type">int</span> <span class="org-variable-name">i</span> = 0;
  <span class="org-type">int</span> <span class="org-variable-name">limit</span> = 1000 ;
  <span class="org-type">int</span> <span class="org-variable-name">total_sum</span> = 0 ;

  printf(<span class="org-string">"Project Euler in C: \n"</span>);

  <span class="org-keyword">while</span> ( i &lt; limit )
    {

      <span class="org-keyword">if</span> ( ((i % 3) == 0) || ((i % 5) == 0) )
        {
          total_sum += i;
        }

      i++ ;
    }

  printf(<span class="org-string">"\tAnswer 1: %d \n"</span>, total_sum);

  <span class="org-keyword">return</span> (0) ;
}
</pre>
</div>


3.  What happened instead?
Instead all the styles had the colour hardcoded in the code blocks if
~htmlize~ package was installed.  Otherwise everything was generated as
plain text and put inside =<pre>...</pre>= tags and have no style to
them.

e.g.:

hardcoded style:
================
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-C"><span style="color: #ffd700;">#include</span> <span style="color: #deb887;">&lt;stdio.h&gt;</span>
<span style="color: #ffd700;">#include</span> <span style="color: #deb887;">&lt;iso646.h&gt;</span>

<span style="color: #98f5ff;">int</span> <span style="color: #daa520;">main</span>()
{
  <span style="color: #98f5ff;">int</span> <span style="color: #4eee94;">i</span> = 0;
  <span style="color: #98f5ff;">int</span> <span style="color: #4eee94;">limit</span> = 1000 ;
  <span style="color: #98f5ff;">int</span> <span style="color: #4eee94;">total_sum</span> = 0 ;

  printf(<span style="color: #deb887;">"Project Euler in C: \n"</span>);

  <span style="color: #00bfff;">while</span> ( i &lt; limit )
    {

      <span style="color: #00bfff;">if</span> ( ((i % 3) == 0) || ((i % 5) == 0) )
        {
          total_sum += i;
        }

      i++ ;
    }

  printf(<span style="color: #deb887;">"\tAnswer 1: %d \n"</span>, total_sum);

  <span style="color: #00bfff;">return</span> (0) ;
}
</pre>
</div>


plain text:
===========
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-C">#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;iso646.h&gt;

int main()
{
  int i = 0;
  int limit = 1000 ;
  int total_sum = 0 ;

  printf("Project Euler in C: \n");

  while ( i &lt; limit )
    {

      if ( ((i % 3) == 0) || ((i % 5) == 0) )
        {
          total_sum += i;
        }

      i++ ;
    }

  printf("\tAnswer 1: %d \n", total_sum);

  return (0) ;
}
</pre>
</div>
