BUG? unable to surround subtrees with html tag

BUG? unable to surround subtrees with html tag

I'm using the most recent wip-cite-new branch of org, with a recent emacs
git (28.0.50).

I would like to be able to surround some portion of a subtree with a tag,
e.g.:

* parent
  some text
#+HTML: <div class="box">
** child 2
  some boxed content
** child 2
   more boxed content
 #+HTML:</div>
** child 3
  unboxed content

However, org seems to close the div for me before the ~** child 2~
headline.

Is this the intended behaviour? And if so is there any way for me to do
this?

Sorry for the noise, I believe this is user error.   I misread the exported
source code, and firefox's developer tools added the closing tag for me, so
I kept not seeing my mistake. The error here was not realizing that section
contents get wrapped in their own div with class ~outline-text-N~, so my
~<div class="box">~ resulted in malformed HTML.

I don't know if there is a way to somehow slide my own html in between the
outine-text element and the outline-container element for a child subtree.
If someone knows a way to do this, I'd appreciate a pointer, but for now I
think I have to find another way to accomplish this.

thanks & apologies,

Matt

Is it important that your two headlines in the boxed content export as <h2>?

If not, you could just use a structure like

* Parent
** Box
*** Boxed Child 1
*** Boxed Child 2
** Unboxed Child

and use something like the ignoreheading filter (see Worg's "Org Hacks"
page) to prevent "Box" from producing a separate header, and maybe
various properties (e.g. UNNUMBERED?) to keep the boxed children from
appearing as part of the main outline. 

Otherwise, #+INCLUDE comes to mind as a possible solution.

Would one of those options work for you?

I think the :ignore: hack will not work quite right, but the others I had
not thought of at all, and I will try them out! Thank you,

As it so happens, this is something which has come up for me too. I
think in the future it could be worth adding a property that can be used
to wrap a section in certain HTML tag(s).

For now though... the best solution would be what Richard suggests.

I'm dealing with it again tonight, and I do find it a bit teeth-gnashing.
In this case what I'm looking to do is to hide a whole section when the
exported hTML page loads.  But right now the subtee children of the
headline remain visible even when the text is hidden.

Whoa! I just realized I can rewrite this myself, since it's a derived
bakend.  I guess the export happens from the leafs upwards, so that the
contents are already rendered by the time theadline is being processed.  So
in my headline exporter, just had to wrap the contents in an additional
div.  It works fine, I feel great about it!
