Thanks to auntie google I've found out how to keep the formatting of elisp on export to html using '#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp' at the beginning of the code block, and '#+END_SRC' at the end. Whilst its in .emacs its nicely colorized, but how do I colorize the output when its been exported please? For once, google has drawn a blank, unfortunately!
