Problems exporting literal HTML fragments

Problems exporting literal HTML fragments

[Alex Fu]

Hello all,

When using the #+TEXT:, #+HTML:, or #BEGIN_HTML...#END_HTML directives to  
output literal html fragments, the resulting markup is enclosed in a  
paragraph with <p> and </p> tags.  Whenever I need something else, I am  
forced to inhibit their generation in clumsy ways, "cancelling out" the  
opening and closing paragraph tags like this:

   #+TEXT: @</p>@<p class="marginpar">@<a href="/home.html">Back to  
main@</a>@</p>@<p>

or

   #+HTML: </p><p class="marginpar"><a href="/home.html">Back to  
main</a></p><p>

Thus, I think it would be a good idea *not* to enclose literal html  
fragments in a paragraph (<p>...</p>), given that the markup is already  
being controlled through these directives.

* * *

Possible bug:

#+BEGIN_HTML...#+END_HTML blocks are not correctly interpreted if they  
consist of multiline text.  Only 1 line --the one exactly above  
#+END_HTML-- is exported literally.

For example:

   #+BEGIN_HTML
   </p><div id="special"><p><img src="someimage.jpg"/></p></div><p>
   #+END_HTML

does right thing (well, almost, because of having to cancel out <p> tags),  
producing:

   <div id="special"><p><img src="someimage.jpg"/></p></div>

However,

   #+BEGIN_HTML
   </p><div id="special">
   <p><img src="someimage.jpg"/></p>
   </div><p>
   #+END_HTML

produces:

   <p>
   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="special"&gt;
   &lt;img src="someimage.jpg"/&gt;
   </div>

Tested on org 4.68, GNU Emacs 22.0.92.1.

Kind regards.
