org-ehtml's Issues

void-function set-default-toplevel-value

I have emacs 24.3.1 and the following modules installed.

• org-20140422
• org-ehtml-20140419.1756
• web-server-20140413.858

When I start emacs I get this error

In my init.el I tried changing (setq org-ehtml-docroot "/example/b/") to (setq org-ehtml-docroot (expand-file-name "/example/b/")) per the documentation change at ee4b5d6, but that did not solve the problem.

How can I make the files editable?

Is this still supposed to work, cause my files are just plain html files;)

I've tried testing with the supplied examples.

Not really sure how to troubleshoot;)

elpa

Is org-ehtml actually on elpa? I can't seem to find it on the package list.
Is the intent that we just git clone the github repo?

Caught Error: (error "Unknown \"nil\" back-end: Aborting export")

Hello!
When trying to open any org file in the list shown by webserver, the error appears:

Caught Error: (error "Unknown \"nil\" back-end: Aborting export")

Same error shown in emacs when trying to call functions org-ehtml-export-to-html or org-ehtml-export-as-html

Any hints, please?

Header args and results of source blocks mess up the org buffer when editing in browser

Exporting the following org file to html and editing the list in the browser messes up the org file:

#+TITLE: Some Test for ehtml with source blocks

* First Section
Some source block that could mess up the org buffer:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :export results
"hello"
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: hello

- here
- we
- have
- a
- list

This is caused by def-ehtml-wrap using positions of the export buffer which is a modified copy of the original org buffer.
Header args and results are removed.

wrong-type-argument numberp nil

I've installed org-ehtml-20140501

When I browse to most org files, in my browser I get this message in my browser

Caught Error: (wrong-type-argument numberp nil)

However, some org files do render correctly.

I googled a bit to see if I could debug this and tried setting toggle-debug-on-error in emacs, but no debugger appears.

Error while exporting to html

I've got a 500 error from the web server and I've traced the error to the org-ehtml-export-file function:

ELISP> (org-ehtml-export-file "/home/patrick/public_org/complex.org")

org-ehtml-docroot is not used

I'm running org-ehtml-20140427. In my init.el I have

(setq org-ehtml-docroot (expand-file-name "/example/b/"))

However, when I visit the wiki I get this message

Caught Error: (file-error "Opening input file" "no such file or directory" "/Users/pittsb/.emacs.d/elpa/public_org")

org-ehtml-docroot can't use ~ in its path

I originally had:

(setq org-ehtml-docroot "~/Dropbox/Org")

However whenever I directed the browser to http://localhost:8888, I would see a directory listing of files, but if I selected a .org file, I would get a "404 not found" response. If I made the value an absolute path as below, this fixed the issue. I don't know if this is expected behaviour, but it would be nice to support ~ syntax if possible.

(setq org-ehtml-docroot "/home/sits/Dropbox/Org")

label:enhancement Integration of Emacs 25 webkit browser

Hi,

I have just discovered your great project and I'm wondering if you plan to integrate the new features of Emacs 25 webkit browser to see the html files directly in Emacs itself.

Anyway, long life to your project.
Regards,
François

test-org-ehtml doesn't exist

ELISP> (require 'test-org-ehtml)
*** Eval error ***  Cannot open load file: no such file or directory, test-org-ehtml

Do I need to have some testing stuff installed to do this? (Emacs newb)

Support traversing directory trees

A user I support has a directory tree that is like the following.

/example/b/artistry/
/example/b/artistry/org
/example/b/artistry/org/gp_mtg_recordings
/example/b/artistry/org/whiteboard_images
/example/b/artistry/papers
/example/b/artistry/papers/current
/example/b/artistry/papers/done
/example/b/artistry/papers/fame
/example/b/artistry/papers/limbo
/example/b/artistry/papers/mechanics
/example/b/artistry/papers/nascent
/example/b/artistry/papers/posters
/example/b/artistry/papers/symbols
/example/b/artistry/papers/theses
/example/b/artistry/papers/venues_possibles
/example/b/artistry/references
/example/b/artistry/references/bibliography
/example/b/artistry/references/obsolete

She has org files scattered throughout all these directories and even deeper. We're trying to make them all web-viewable and editable with org-ehtml.

I set org-ehtml-docroot to "/example/b/artistry/".

When I load http://example.com:8888 I get

<ul><li><a href=".">.</a></li>
<li><a href="..">..</a></li>
<li><a href=".DS_Store">.DS_Store</a></li>
<li><a href=".git">.git</a></li>
<li><a href=".gitignore">.gitignore</a></li>
<li><a href="master.html">master.html</a></li>
<li><a href="org">org</a></li>
<li><a href="papers">papers</a></li>
<li><a href="references">references</a></li></ul>

which is fine. If I click references my browser loads http://example.com:8888/references and I get

<ul><li><a href=".">.</a></li>
<li><a href="..">..</a></li>
<li><a href=".DS_Store">.DS_Store</a></li>
<li><a href="bibliography">bibliography</a></li>
<li><a href="obsolete">obsolete</a></li></ul>

The links do not include the path from the document root. E.G. they are to bibliography and obsolete when they should be to references/bibliography and references/obsolete.

If I click the link to bibliography I get the error "no such file or directory", as you would expect given the above.

If I manually enter http://example.com:8888/references/bibliography in my address bar I can visit that page.

I think I'm on the right path to fixing this and will followup shortly.

enhancement: allow overriding css file

Currently the styling is ox-ehtml.css and the only way to override to my understanding is to edit the ox-ehtml.css directly. It would be nice to have a variable which would allow an override of the CSS.

Are you open to this idea?

Org-mode >=8.0.3

Doesn't work with Org-mode 8.0 beacause of the rewriting of the new export engine.
"org-export" is now obsolete.

Emacs prompts to reload file

I am trying to run org-ehtml as a service so that multiple people can edit a single set of org files via the web. Eventually I plan to start a dedicated emacs instance for this via launchd, but for now I am just testing with emacs running in a GNU screen session.

Initially, the pages display fine. However, if a user edits one of the org files via an emacs session on the machine, org-ehtml stops working. When I log in and reattach to my gnu screen session running emacs, I see tthe prompt.

File master.org changed on disk.  Reread from disk? (yes or no)

What causes this prompt, and how can I either disable it or automatically answer yes?

How to use in-buffer options?

Hello! I suspect these two in-buffer options don't work as expected:

#+HTML_EVERYTHING_EDITABLE: t
#+HTML_EDITABLE_HEADLINES: t

or maybe I haven't understood how to use them.

I thought they would override the defcustom variables
org-ehtml-everything-editable and org-ehtml-editable-headlines
but they seem to have no effect at all.

Is it reproducible for you as well? (I mean: the fact that setting
in-buffer options to t doesn't produce the EDIT buttons).

This is a non-critical issue: defcustom variables do work.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice, kindest regards.

Android and HTML

Would this allow for editing org files from my mobile (Android) device and thus syncing orgfiles between computer and phone?

Inline images are not rendered

I have an example org file which refers to a local image:

[[~/Pictures/test.jpg]]

When I serve this file using org-ehtml, the relevant fragment is as follows:

<div class="edit_in_place">
<div class="figure">
<p><img src="file:///home/sits/Pictures/test.jpg" alt="test.jpg" />
</p>
</div></div><div class="raw-org" contents-begin="429" contents-end="453">[[~/Pictures/test.jpg]]
</div>
</div>

With the HTML above, Firefox only renders the "alt" text rather than displaying the image. If I remove the out <div> elements with the "edit_in_place" class, it works.

I wonder if for images, could they not be editable so that they are properly displayed inline?

Unable to edit headlines

In the browser, the following org

** TODO get new battery for small UPS for hestia :toni:


look up battery on amazon, and see if it's worth replacing or just getting
a new ups

is transformed to

<div id="outline-container-sec-3-2" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-3-2"><span class="section-number-3">3.2</span> <span class="todo TODO">TODO</span> get new battery for small UPS for hestia&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="tag"><span class="toni">toni</span></span></h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-3-2">
<input style="display: none;" value="EDIT" class="edit_button" type="button"><div class="edit_in_place"><p>
look up battery on amazon, and see if it's worth replacing or just getting
a new ups
</p></div><div class="raw-org" contents-begin="3629" contents-end="3714">look up battery on amazon, and see if it's worth replacing or just getting
a new ups
</div>
</div>
</div>

This provides the option to edit the text under the headline, but not the text of the headline itself.

files with org babel source code blocks not served

I get this error when I have an R source code block in my org file:

Caught Error: (user-error "Cannot find original buffer position starting search at position 910")

The source code block I tried was:

#+NAME: temp
#+BEGIN_SRC R :results value :exports results :hlines :colnames yes
data.frame(v1=c(1:5),v2=c(1:5))
#+end_src

The error vanishes if I change exports to "none".

Unable to start the web server

Here is my script:

(use-package org-ehtml
  :requires web-server
  :config
  (setq org-ehtml-docroot (expand-file-name "~/public_org"))
  (setq org-ehtml-everything-editable t)
  :init
  (require 'org-ehtml)
  (ws-start org-ehtml-handler 9000))

inside of my public_org is a single projects.org file

The error message I get is:

Problem with accented characters

Hello, here's a recipe to reproduce my problem.

1. create this example file index.org and put it in your ehtml docroot:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

#+TITLE: mytitle
#+HTML_EDITABLE_HEADLINES: t
#+HTML_EVERYTHING_EDITABLE: t

* myheader                                                         :EDITABLE:

mytext... citta.

2. enable the server with (progn (require 'org-ehtml) (ws-start org-ehtml-handler 1000))

3. open your browser and go to http://localhost:10000

4. hover the text mytext... citta., click the EDIT button at the right side, change citta into città (it's the Italian "accented a" letter, Unicode U+00E0, UTF-8 encoding c3 a0), click "Save"

5. now look at your Emacs, you will see that a message appears: utf-8-dos cannot encode these: \303 \240, and Emacs prompts for you to amend the "wrong" chars or to select another charset.

Prompt at point 5) is undesired behaviour. And even if I choose a charset (utf-8, iso-8859-1 etc.) then I still get in \303 \240 in index.org instead of à.

My workaround: I get a correct behaviour if (before performing point 4) I visit index.org and type M-x toggle-enable-multibyte-characters RET (i.e. change multibyte from enabled to disabled) and keep that buffer open.

Is this reproducible for you too? Any idea of what could be wrong?

Thanks, kindest regards.

Andrea
