Version 7.5: org-export-html-preamble no longer supports function

Version 7.5: org-export-html-preamble no longer supports function

[Bill Jackson]

In version 7.4, org-export-html-preamble and org-export-html-postamble 
could be set to the name of a function that was passed an option plist.  
This appears to no longer be supported in 7.5.

I used this functionality when publishing to generate a preamble and 
postamble to integrate the generated pages into my website, which 
included a common page layout, header bar, and footer.  I was able to 
define options in org-export-inbuffer-options-extra, define values for 
these options in a .org file, and incorporate them into the preamble via 
the option plist passed to the org-export-html-preamble function.

Is there another way in version 7.5 that I can generate custom preambles 
and postambles incorporating variables from each file at the time of 
publishing?


With much thanks,
Bill

I had read this discussion thread (more than once!), but have not been 
able to figure out how to accomplish what I was doing under 7.4 without 
support for passing a function in org-export-html-preamble.  I know how 
to generate a preamble, but not how to generate one customized for each 
.org source file.  Am I missing something?

See my last patch.  It allows to set org-export-html-pre/postamble to a
function that will return a string.  The function take opt-plist as its
only argument -- as org-export-html-preamble used to do.

Let me know if it works for you!

Thanks,

This works for me.  I have not tested it _carefully_, but I did apply 
your patch and my setup now works as it did before.  (Of course 
:preamble and :postamble needed to be changed to :html-preamble 
:html-postamble for org-publish.)

I must say that I am impressed by the work of everyone involved with 
org-mode.  I have been using the package for over a year and I love the 
simplicity, power, and flexibility.  To receive responses so quickly, 
and to questions regarding undocumented features no less, is amazing.

Many thanks!

Yes -- I guess I should have detailed this more carefully in the
ChangeLog.  The good thing so far is that the user doesn't have to deal
with a complex matrix of options anymore.
