Re: [Orgmode] HTML export and heading levels

Hi Bernt,

thanks for sharing this -- I add some (hopefully useful) comments.

I guess we need the /home/bernt/bin/publish file for this to be really
reusable, no?

Another way to do a similar think

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
          (lambda() (add-hook 'before-save-hook 
                              'org-publish-current-file t t)))

This will run the `org-publish-current-file' function each time you try
to save an org-mode buffer.  For this to take effect, the file has to be
part of a project -- see the manual (info "(org)Configuration") on how
to configure a project.

I guess this should be:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'bth-org-define-keys)

You can configure this through the org-publish project parameters.  
See the manual: (info "(org)Publishing options") and look for the
:headline-levels parameter.

(I wish we could set complex filters when exporting, but that may be
another story...)

For this you can use this workaround:

* COMMENT Timelog

HTH,
