Using: org-e-html-special-string-regexps

Using: org-e-html-special-string-regexps

[William Crandall]

Hello Jambunathan,

I tried your suggestion of swapping

  -org-e-html-special-string-regexps-  for
  -org-export-html-special-string-regexps-

to add my own strings.

I want this for an — between words /without/
any spaces; the \mdash entity requires spaces.

Results: The old exporter works as expected (below).

The new exporter leads to an error mode I've not seen.

With a new org-e-html-special-string-regexps code block
in init.el (below), emacs reports:
--------------------------------------------------
Wrote g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/init.el
Compiling g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/init.el...done
byte-compile-file: Renaming: permission denied,
    g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/init.elc4856ijc,
    g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/init.elc
--------------------------------------------------

Each attempted compile generates a new init.elcXXXXX.
I've never seen this before. Is it a "known error"?

Attempts to use org-e-html-special-string-regexps
naturally fail (see bottom).

Any suggestions?

Thanks again, for this, and for the </a> tags on <<targets>>!

You may use \mdash{} like in:

  a\mdash{}b
