Html Exporter Suppressing Blank Lines at Start

Html Exporter Suppressing Blank Lines at Start

[Ian Barton]

I am playing with Jekyll as a possible blogging solution for org. So far 
it looks good, but there is one small problem. You can use yaml in your 
html, but it has to be the very first thing in the file:

In my org file I have:

#+STARTUP: showall indent
#+STARTUP: hidestars
#+BEGIN_HTML
---
layout: default
title: Benighted on the Ben.
---
#+END_HTML

It was early January when six of us travelled up to


When I export to html I end up with two blank lines at the top of the 
file above the first ---. Is there a way to get the html exporter not to 
insert those two blank lines?

Ian.

Hmmm, when I do this export, I get a full html file, with header and  
all, and he first "---" as the <h1> title of the document.

Could you please tell in more detail what you mean?

Thanks.

Sorry, I should have provided more detail. Here is the relevant part of 
my org-publish-project-alist.

   ("org-ianbarton"
           :base-directory "~/devel/ianbarton/org/"
           :base-extension "org"
           :publishing-directory "~/devel/ianbarton/jekyll/"
           :recursive t
           :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
           :headline-levels 4             ; Just the default for this 
project.
           :html-extension "html"
           :body-only t
     )


     ("org-static-ian"
           :base-directory "~/devel/ianbarton/org/"
           :base-extension 
"css\\|js\\|png\\|jpg\\|gif\\|pdf\\|mp3\\|ogg\\|swf\\|php"
           :publishing-directory "~/devel/ianbarton/"
           :recursive t
           :publishing-function org-publish-attachment)

     ("ian" :components ("org-ianbarton" "org-static-ian"))

Hi Ian,

if you upgrade, these empty lines should be gone.

Also, there are several hooks that run once the export is done:

org-export-html-final-hook      (always)
org-publish-after-export-hook   (when going through org-publish)

These hooks can also be used to make adjustments like this one.
