There is now a new export function, `org-export-as-org', which
basically creates a copy of the Org file with things like archived
trees, commented trees, and trees deselected by export tags,
stripped.
This commit adds:
{{{date(FORMAT)}}} current date/time, formatted with
`format-time-string'
{{{modification-time(FORMAT)}}} date/time of last modification of
file, formatted with `format-time-string'
{{{input-file}}} the file name of the source Org file.

This was a bug, fixed now.

It is actually the correct way to do this, and I have
implemented this change.

There is now, `C-c C-e A'.
This commit also implements commands
- org-export-as-ascii-to-buffer
- org-replace-region-by-ascii
- org-export-region-as-ascii
which are similar to what is available for HTML and LaTeX.
`C-c C-e A' used to be the key for publishing all projects.
This functionality has now been moved to `C-c C-e E'.
Chris Gray had the idea to have arbitrary blocks turned in LaTeX
environments and HTML divs. These three new hooks allow
implementation has an add-on rather than a patch.

There is now a better error message when either the latex or the
dvipng program does not exist.

Users can now define custom IDs for use in HTML export.
These IDs are stores as property CUSTOM_ID. When present, HTML will
prefer using these over automatic targets like "sec-N.M".
Some of the standard export options are now defined in backend
specific files. This commit makes sure that building the options
property list will not cause an error because of unneeded (for the
backend) undefined variables.
When exporting to a temporary buffer, images to replace LaTeX
fragments cannot be produced, because there is no useful location
where they can be put. Therefore, these images are not produced in
this case.
In verse environments, line breaks are now enforced both in LaTeX and
in HTML. Centering is now implemented using a div rather than a
paragraph, so that there may be several paragraphs in the centering
environment. Blockquotes now also may have several paragraphs.
If a link is [[#name][desc]], the href wil be exacty href="#name".
So starting a link target with # will indicate that there will be an
explicit target for this.

This is a bug, fixed now.
Message-mode assigns auto-safe file names to temporary buffers, in the
draft directory. This causes problems when running message-mode in a
temporary buffer with with-temp-buffer. When the form tries to kill
the buffer, is asks for saving it....
This commit turns off the buffer-modified flag and so avoids the
query.
Patch by Nick Dokos.
uuidgen ids may start with a number and therefore are not valid names
in HTML. Therefore we now use and "ID-" prefix for such IDs when
exporting to HTML.
Before, the bibliography will exist inside the outline structure, as
part of the last section. This commit adds code to find it, cut it
out, and move it to a better location.
Links with description not create a note before the next headline that
contains the link. In the text, the description will be shown.
The new variable `org-export-ascii-links-to-notes' can be configured
to turn off this behavior, then the reference will be inserted inline
in the text. If the line becomes too long because of this, it will
be wrapped.
A line: #+MARCO: name replacement text
can be referenced by {{{name}}}. As special cases, {{{title}}} will
reference #+TITLE, and similar with similar lines.
Like TODO keywords before, now also tags each get their own CSS class,
given by the tag itself. Invalid characters in tags are all replaced
by "_" to make sure the resulting HTML remains valid.
Two new variables can be used to add a prefix to the class names for
TODO keywords and tags.
Clock lines are now by default captured into the drawer LOGBOOK. This
means that, if state notes are also captured into a drawer, they will
be mixed with notes.
Wanrong Lin writes:
Right now in the HTML export the TODO keywords have either
class="todo", or class="done". That loses all the face properties
in the original TODO keywords. I think the TODO keywords faces are
important visual aids to differentiate different types of TODO
items, so I just wonder whether it is possible to keep the faces
in the HTML.
This makes sense. This commit adds, to each TODO keyword, an
additional class named after the keyword. For example:
<span class="todo WAITING">WAITING</span>
So each todo keyword gets class "todo" or "done" depending on which
general type it is. And in addition it gets itself as class.
So go to your CSS file and configure like this:
.todo { font-weight:bold; }
.done { font-weight:bold; }
.TODO { color:red; }
.WAITING { color:orange; }
.DONE { color:green; }
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for the multiple-classes trick.

Consider a structure like this:
* first
** second
*** third
**** fourth
Currently, if I export the "third" sub-tree to html (via "C-c @
C-x C-e h"), then "third" becomes an <h1> heading, but "fourth"
becomes an <h5> heading. I would rather it were <h2>, i.e. that
all heading levels be relative to the root of the sub-tree. Is
there any way to achieve this?
This was not possible so far, but this commit measures the first
headline of the subtree and applies an offset to all level values.
The id for the footnotes div is now called "text-footnotes", not
"footnotes-text", to be more consistent with other divs used in
Org-mode.
Requested by Sebastian Rose.
There were two bugs:
1. Timestamp processing did not honor the setting of
`org-export-with-timestamps' in the text before the first
headline.
2. When `org-export-with-timestamps' was nil, time stamps were removed
even in tables. I think this is incorrect, so in tables, time
stamps are now never removed.
Two new variables, `org-export-html-inline-image-extensions' and
`org-export-latex-inline-image-extensions' now define the file
extensions that will be considered for inlining images. The default
for HTML is png, jpg, jpeg, and gif files. The default for LaTeX is
png, jpg, jpeg, and pdf, assuming processing with `pdflatex'.
For LaTeX export, this can lead to conflicts for links that point
to non-image PDF files. To avoid that such a link will be inlined by
accident, always give a description text for such a link, one that is
not equal to the path.
The special first column in some tables was not removed for LaTeX
export. This bug was probably introduces recently, while trying to
fix problems with special characters in LaTeX tables.
Export is now working again properly.
Reported by Giovanni Ridolfi.
The end of the last line of a colon example is not protected, and this
caused the time stamp removal protection to fail if a time stamp was
the last thing in such an example.
Lines preceded by a colon are treated as fixed-width examples.
This commit improves the moment when the protection of these lines
happens during preprocessing. And it enforces that a space must
follow the colon for the line to be treated in this way.
1. Export hangs during LaTeX export. That was a bug using an empty
regular expression that was defined only locally in Org files, but
not in the buffer used by the LaTeX exporter.
2. Underscores in links can get special treatment by the LaTeX
exporter. Now the link is protected from this.
When including s file in example or src markup, you can now also
specify the switches for code references and line numbering that work
also when directly adding SRC or EXAMPLE blocks.
Reported by Manish.
This commit removes some of the stuff that was specific for the LaTeX
exporter, and falls back to the default configuration that works for
all backends.
Here is what the commit does:
- The variable `org-export-latex-remove-from-headlines' is now
obsolete. Instead, also LaTeX export now responds to the settings
in the variables org-export-with-todo-keywords',
`org-export-with-priority', and `org-export-with-tags' and in the
corresponding OPTION settings.
- Removal of time stamps and related keywords now already happens in
the preprocessor, so that it will be perfectly the same for all
backends.
- The list functions have been extended to accept an additional
parameter list, to overrule the default setting for a particular
list function. This is used to make the checkbox appearance in
LaTeX configurable, through the new variable
`org-export-latex-list-parameters'.
