htmlize/Hrvoje Niksic

[Phillip Lord]

Perhaps this is not the best place to ask, but does anyone have a
current contact for Hrvoje Niksic?

I've written a patch for htmlize (which allows me to specify the output
colours independent of Emacs current colour theme). But the main git is
down and he is not responding to the xemacs.org address given in htmlize
itself.

Did you ask on xemacs beta, or Stephen Turnbull directly? I have not
seen Hrvoje for years on xemacs-beta though.

He's been active on python-dev fairly recently.

Ah, cool, thank you!

Out of interest, was there a particular reson or feature which led you to 
use htmlize rather than htmlfontify (which has been merged for a while)?

htmlfontify is great, thanks for that piece of code!

Are you interested in patches? I have had an extension of htmlfontify in my personal source tree for a while (at https://github.com/cpitclaudel/.emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/htmlfontify/htmlfontify%2B.el). It adds support for composition (making htmlfontify compatible with prettify-symbols-mode, for example).

Cheers,
Clément.

GLad it's of use :)

Absolutely. Send it along to me - I've got a fix for the currently-broken 
invisibility support which needs feeding to the main tree as well.

Or I could just grab it from github - obviously I haven't had enough coffee 
today...

I should also mention that my copyright assignment is on file, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Hi,

sorry for jumping in to this discussion.

Some time ago I was faced with the same decision when developing my
highlight2clipboard [1] package (a package that ensure that highlighting is
retained when copying from Emacs to other applications). There were many
reasons I went with `htmlize':

 * I only wanted a html snipped, without a head, so the inlines-css output
method provided by htmlize was better for my purposes
 * htmlfontify includes a Javascript section in the output, which was
something that really I didn't want
 * htmlfontify includes too much detail, like the font I'm using inside
Emacs -- I only wanted color and style information like "underline".

Also, I just ran htmlfontify and htmlify now to compare the end results and
discovered that if fails to handle the case when faces overlap, e.g. when
one face provide the background and another provide the foreground. To test
this, you can install my preproc-font-lock [2] package, enable it using
`preproc-font-lock-global-mode', and run htmlfontify on any C file
containing preprocessor statements. You will see that the preprocessor
background is missing in the html output whenever the text has a foreground
attribute.

In addition, the result buffer is associated with a file and marked as "not
modified", despite not being saved to the file system. A better solution is
to ensure that the buffer is marked as "modified" so that the user can save
it using C-x C-s.

Hm. Works for me. I'll have to do some more digging.

Also, this fails for me.

I've just pushed a fix to another issue where htmlfontify appears not to
be handling multiple faces and face inheritance correctly. This looks
like the same kind of problem.

Good question.

So, first, I didn't know about htmlfontify (or rather I didn't know what
it did, even though I changed it recently!). I found out about it a
couple of days ago on Emacs wiki, and was thinking of seeing whether it
would serve.

The second reason is that org-mode uses htmlize, and it was for use
within org-mode that I am interested. I don't know why it does this, esp
given that htmlfontify is available.

A quick investigation of htmlfontify suggests that it is missing two
features. I need to be able to publish using inline fonts, and not CSS
-- I need to produce HTML snippets that I am embedding in a page that I
don't control. And, in term of org-mode, it uses htmlize-region, which
at first glance htmlfontify lacks an equivalent for.

The display class feature you describe would be useful: at the moment,
running Emacs in batch generates the terminal fonts in html. But I'd
also like to be able to say "this face is this colour, this face is
that, and every other face just ignore". This is for when I am
generating HTML to embed in a page I do not otherwise control, with a
white background (I use dark).

So just to understand correctly, would htmlfontify be able to chose
correct colors for a buffer even if run via batch mode where text is not
colored?  Or would it "just" allow be to match against a style sheet?

I also hadn’t heard of it before now...

It would be great to have a built-in alternative to htmlize in Org.  Just
today I ran into the issue of not having htmlize bundled...

Thanks for checking this.  I agree that CSS declaration support is
important (see org-html-htmlize-output-type).  BTW: what you mean by
inline fonts?

As for htmlize-region, I guess it’s easy to replace using
with-temp-buffer, so I wouldn’t worry about it from the point of view of
Org, though it’s really handy to have in any case.

I know you don’t want to use external files, but if you can relax this
requirement you could generate a stylesheet with
org-html-htmlize-generate-css.
