As you know, the new 8.x org-mode HTML exporter generates this instead:
This output confuses org-html-slideshow, preventing it from correctly
advancing the slides in the presenter view.
Does anyone know how can I direct org-mode 8.x to generate div tags with
the old-style numbered anchors like it used to?
Thanks!

Subject: HTML presentations using org-html-slideshow?
To: org-mode
Hi everyone,
I've been using the excellent org-html-slideshow (
https://github.com/relevance/org-html-slideshow) to generate HTML slides
from org-mode, and it's been working well for me for years.
It generates HTML slides from org-mode using the org-mode heading
hierarchy. Tag any heading with the org-tag :slide: and that heading and
its contents automatically become their own slide once you export to HTML
using org-export-dispatch.
I prefer org-html-slideshow to org-reveal since it allows me the ability to
easily customize the look and feel of slides—by creating a custom
slide—simply by adding an org-tag. So if I tag an org-heading with the tag
:fullscreenslide: for example (so that the heading looks like * Heading
:slide:fullscreenslide:), it will then export that slide to HTML with
class="fullscreenslide" — and I can then use CSS to customize the look and
feel of all slides with that class.
Org-html-slideshow also offers a great Presenter View, which opens in a
separate tab in your browser, and displays your speaker notes, the current
slide, and the next slide. Unfortunately, org-html-slideshow is no longer
being actively developed, and a recent update to org-mode has broken the
way Presenter View functions. Somehow with the new org-mode updates, the
"next slide" view in Presenter Notes mode no longer advances correctly. The
"next slide" slide gets stuck in a loop of 4-5 slides, and just repeats
those few slides. It does not reliably show you what the next slide is
going to be.
I notice that the output from example.org when I export to HTML is fairly
different from the example.html that's in the repo. Something in those
differences is breaking the ability of Presenter Notes to advance to the
next slide:

Anyone else using org-html-slideshow? Does anyone have any thoughts on how
to get this working again? Thanks!
