Re: multipage html output

[Orm Finnendahl <orm.finnendahl@selma.hfmdk-frankfurt.de>]

Hi,

 while doing it, I found out it only needs one function call in
org-export-as for splitting, transcoding and writing the
file. Currently it's called :process-multipage, but we can change that
later.

I'll take your advice and use an :export-option for multipage.
