Re: Conditional link export?

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

I would redefine the info link, and write new export functions for each
backend. You will need to parse the link path for html to construct that
url, but it looks easy to do. I assume # splits the info link into
pieces that are useful?

Alternatively, write a filter for links that only does that for links of
info type.

or you could directly modify org-link-protocols, e.g.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setf (elt  (assoc "info" org-link-protocols) 2)
      (lambda (keyword desc format)
        (cond
         ((eq format 'html)
          (format
           "<a href=\"https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/%s/%s.html\">%s</a>"
           (car (s-split "#" keyword))
           (car (last (s-split "#" keyword)))
           keyword)))))
#+END_SRC

This seems to make the info link into something like what you want. This
way you keep the simple link syntax in org, and get what you want in
other formats.
