Export as HTML does not preserve nonstandard entities as TODO signs

Export as HTML does not preserve nonstandard entities as TODO signs

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Hi, 

I started using ✔ and ❢ as replacement for DONE und TODO and I realized that they get replaced by an underscore (_) in HTML output. Since I really like using symbols for TODO and DONE¹, I wanted to ask, if this is a bug. 

Best wishes,
Arne

¹: Just compare: 

* ✔ Sent bug question
* ❢ check for response

and 

* DONE Sent bug question
* TODO check for response

PS: I actually have ✔ on my keyboard, and C-c C-t makes it easy to use any kind of symbol for TODO states which is supported by the font.

Hi,

I can't reproduce this. After adding your example to a test buffer and 
re-saving the buffer, I get the expected html export. (Before 
resaving, the buffer was still exported in iso-8859-1, producing 
garbage -- but not underscores -- in html; after resaving, in utf-8.)

With point in your example buffer, what does `C-h v 
buffer-file-coding-system' say?

Yours,
Christian

Its value is utf-8-unix
Local in buffer emacs-plan.org; global value is utf-8

What I get is output like this: 

<h3 id="sec-11-10"><span class="section-number-3">11.10</span> <span 
class="done ✔"> _</span> Müll runter </h3>

(copied to the clipboard)

Interesting is that ✔ gets correctly exported as class name, but not as 
identifier in the text. 

Best wishes, 
Arne

Hi,

First, sorry about the noise: I had failed to activate your symbols as 
TODO keywords. Now I do reproduce your results.

It also doesn't seem to help to add your special characters to Emacs 
word syntax, as the FAQ says you should.
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-9-6

I think there's a bug in org-html.el (org-export-as-html), around line 
1611. A function that is meant to get a valid class name for the todo 
keyword is not called when the class attribute of the span tag is 
inserted, but a  line below, where the visible text content of the 
span tag is inserted. I'm posting a patch.

Yours,
Christian

[PATCH] Re: Export as HTML does not preserve nonstandard entities as TODO signs

Correct html export of todo keywords

  * org-html.el (org-export-as-html): Apply
    org-export-html-get-todo-kwd-class-name to the the class attribute
    of the todo-keyword span tag, not to its text content

The problem was that special characters in todo keywords were being
replaced by underscore. This was meant to happen to the class
attributes set around them.

TINYCHANGE

This only swaps two arguments to a concat.

No problem and many thanks for checking - and fixing! 

As soon as it’s in the emacs 24 repo, I can test it.

Best wishes, 
Arne
