export "simple" HTML?

export "simple" HTML?

[Gary Oberbrunner]

Has anyone created an HTML exporter that just exports "simple" HTML
with no fancy CSS stuff, just "normal" tags like <hN> and <table> and
<i> and <b> and <li>?  Basically something that could be pasted into
an email or a larger document.  The current HTML export is beautiful,
but it adds all kinds of divs, spans, CSS tags, and other extraneous
stuff.

Try the "body only" export option: in the export dispatcher, hit "C-b"
to toggle. That should give you clean HTML with no file template, and no
bells and whistles.

If it is an easy answer, how would one do this in batch mode?

I've never actually exported anything in batch mode, so I won't be able
to provide a real recipe, but body-only is one of the main export
options, usually given as an argument to org-export-as (and family). If
you're calling any one of those export functions directly as part of the
batch export, you can just set that argument to t.

Hope that's enough to get you there...

Making advertisement for my own stuff, you now have the option
"--body-only" to the Orgmk family of scripts (among others, org2html).

See https://github.com/fniessen/orgmk for more information (or example
code).
