org-html-postamble-format and #+DATE: specification in 8.0pre

[Dieter Wilhelm]

Dear list,

I changed the html postamble

org-html-postamble-format is a variable defined in `ox-html.el'.
Its value is
(("en" "<p class=\"author\">Author: %a (%e)</p>\n<p class=\"date\">Date: %d </p>\n<p class=\"creator\">Generated by %c </p>\n")
 ("de" "<p class=\"author\">Autor: %a (%e)</p>\n<p class=\"date\">Datum: %d </p>\n<p class=\"creator\">Generiert von %c </p>\n")
 ("fr" "<p class=\"author\">Auteur: %a (%e)</p>\n<p class=\"date\">Date: %d </p>\n<p class=\"creator\">Generated by %c </p>\n"))

Original value was 
(("en" "<p class=\"author\">Author: %a (%e)</p>\n<p class=\"date\">Date: %d</p>\n<p class=\"creator\">Generated by %c</p>\n<p class=\"xhtml-validation\">%v</p>"))

but now I can't specify a date in the form

#+DATE:  "%Y-%m-%d"

Formerly an empty specification meant the current date, but now in the
preamble the date remains empty.

I'm having the same issue. Did you find a way around it?

I didn't try to reproduce the problem, but specifying a format time
string as a DATE value is not possible anymore. You still can provide
a timestamp and tweak `org-export-date-timestamp-format' (or BIND it) to
format it.

Sorry I don't get it completely.  
I'd like to have as the DATE value the current change time of the file.
You mean that I should set this with the Emacs timestamp facility? Like:

#+DATE: Time-stamp: " "

I have a more serious issue: it seems that '%d' is no longer taken into
account. To reproduce, try exporting the following:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
# -*- org-export-allow-bind-keywords: t -*-

#+TITLE: Testing the date
#+BIND: org-html-postamble-format (("en" "Test %d %a"))

Hello World

Try the DATE header argument. Also, if you only want to bind the 
postamble for the current
buffer in only one language, you can bypass the postamble-format alist:


,----
| #+TITLE: Test postamble
| #+DATE: {{{modification-time( %Y-%m-%d)}}}
| #+BIND: org-html-postamble "By %a on %d"
|
| * File was updated on {{{modification-time( %Y-%m-%d)}}}
| - the header date is: {{{date()}}}

No, but you can use the modification-time() macro:

,----
| #+TITLE: Test date handling
| #+DATE: {{{modification-time(%Y-%m-%d)}}}
| #+OPTIONS: toc:nil
|
| * File was updated on {{{modification-time(%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M)}}}
| - the header date is: {{{date()}}}
| - the current time is {{{time(%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M)}}}
`----

Which will export (in ascii):

,----

If you're exporting a buffer associated to a file, you may use:

  #+DATE: {{{modification-time(%Y-%m-%d)}}}

Thank you for the explanation, I really appreciate that and I'm happy to
learn new possibilities in org.  At first I thought it just a regression
that I had additionally to put in a macro but on the other hand it is
much more precise for my needs then

#+DATE %Y-%m-%d

which gave me in 7.xx only the current time.  So far so good.

#+DATE: {{{modification-time(%Y-%m-%d)}}}

is working when I'm exporting individual files but now when I'm trying
to publish I'm getting:

Generating tree-style sitemap for Die Dünenhof-Seite [15 times]
byte-code: Bad timestamp `((macro (:key modification-time :value {{{modification-time(%Y-%m-%d)}}} :args (%Y-%m-%d) :begin 1 :end 34 :post-blank 0 :parent #0)))'
Error was: (stringp ((macro (:key modification-time :value {{{modification-time(%Y-%m-%d)}}} :args (%Y-%m-%d) :begin 1 :end 34 :post-blank 0 :parent #1))))

Seemingly this macro wreaks havoc with the automatic sitemap
generation...

Thanks

Indeed, there's a bug.  Thank you for letting me know.

I have pushed a fix in master branch. Does it solves the problem?

Ah, I see. What I don't understand is why the default postamble can
display the date, as it's also using %d:

Original value was 
(("en" "<p class=\"author\">Author: %a (%e)</p>\n<p class=\"date\">Date: %d</p>\n<p class=\"creator\">Generated by %c</p>\n<p class=\"xhtml-validation\">%v</p>"))

I cannot reproduce your problem.

With the current Org buffer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+language: en
#+author: Me
#+options: postamble:t author:t date:t
* Headline
  Body
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I get no date in the (default) postamble.

Here is the postamble that is generated here:

<div id="postamble" class="status">
<p class="author">Author: Me</p>
<p class="date">Created: 2013-04-06 Sat 19:25</p>
<p class="creator">Generated by <a href="http://orgmode.org">Org</a> mode 8.0-pre in <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">Emacs</a> 24.2.93.1.</p>
<p class="xhtml-validation"><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer">Validate XHTML 1.0</a></p>
</div>

It has the date. But there is something weird, in the default option:

(("en" "<p class=\"author\">Author: %a (%e)</p>\n<p class=\"date\">Date: %d</p>\n<p class=\"creator\">Generated by %c</p>\n<p class=\"xhtml-validation\">%v</p>"))

the text is "Date" and not "Created".

It isn't the date but the document time stamp (see
`org-export-time-stamp-file').

This variable is used iff `org-html-postamble' is set to `t'. You
probably have it set to `auto'.

Thank you very much, practically to the same time Nicolas G. pointed
this out as well and I had some issues with the html-preamble, so I
didn't reply.  But as an aside: Is there a place in worg, in the
documentation, a lisp file where these wonderful macros are to be found?

It is set to `auto'. I thought the #+options: postamble:t line would
change this.

I was caught by this too. IIRC, it's #+options: html-postamble:t

$ make docs

was my friend, thanks for the pointer, Stupid me, didn't realise that
the documentation is also advancing for 8.0pre...

This is a great help. But:

dieter@urmel:/appl/org-mode$ make info
make -C doc info
make[1]: Entering directory `/appl/org-mode/doc'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `info'.

The info documentation is not yet working?
