4.77: org-export-region-as-html produces strange output

4.77: org-export-region-as-html produces strange output

[T. V. Raman]

See attached org input and resulting HTML.

Things that look buggy:

The example uses a section header, a bulleted list and a table.

See list of problems below:

0)  The table becomes part of the final bullet.
1)  The table has a strange <col> element inside it.
2)  Given that I invoked org-export-region-as-html with a prefix
arg, it would be a good idea not to generate section numbers --
or at least make the generation of such section numbers
customizable by the user.
Otherwise, cutting and pasting the generated html markup requires
handfixing of the section numbers 



* Introduction
  - First bullet.
  - Second bullet.

|------+-------|
| Name | Email |



<h2 id="sec-1">1 Introduction</h2>

<ul>
<li>
First bullet.
</li>
<li>
Second bullet.

<table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides">
<COL align="left"><COL align="left">
<tbody>
<tr><td>Name</td><td>Email</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

</li>
</ul>

I'd say this is on purpose.  Same is true for <pre> stuff,
these are just insertions, their indentation does not change
the structure.

What is strange about it?

Good point, I will turn that off.
There is a similar problems with ID of headings, these should
maybe also turned because using cut-and-paste, you might get multiple
id's like sec-1.

Thanks.

What is strange about <col>

A)   I dont know what that element means or why it is there.
B)   It's also missing its closing tag.

It is a way to specify attributes for an entire column -  I am
using it to set the alignment - even though usually the
table renderers ignore it.

I thought it did not need one, but indeed, in XHTML it does,
as opposed to HTML.  Will fix that, thanks.
