switch off validate - how?

switch off validate - how?

[Colin Baxter]

Hello,

In exporting to html, how do I switch off the `validate' link at the
bottom of the html file? I can't seem to find any appropriate variable.

C-h v org-html-validation-link RET

Set it to "", but there are still validation remnants left in the HTML
file, which is probably a bug:

,----
| <div id="postamble" class="status">
| <p class="author">Author: Nick Dokos</p>
| <p class="date">Created: 2019-05-20 Mon 12:43</p>
| <p class="validation"></p>    <<<<<<<<<<< this should disappear.
| </div>
`----

Indeed, it would be nice if setting `org-html-validation-link' to "" or
nil didn’t insert the wrapping paragraph.  In the meantime, you can
customize C-h v org-html-postamble-format RET and get rid of the
validation paragraph entirely.

Great, that worked. I actually set it as a local variable since I want
the validation link on certain files but not all.

Thank you.

You can't [fn:1]  set `org-html-validation-link' to nil because the defcustom
specifies a string.

Redefining the postamble format  is indeed a good solution, probably the
best solution currently available. `org-html-validation-link' should probably
only be used to point to a different validation engine, not to get rid of
validation altogether.

* Footnotes

[fn:1] At least through `customize' or `set-variable' - `setq' will of course
       let you do anything you want.

I've set the variable `org-html-validation-link' to "" as a local
variable on a per file basis. However, where I have customised a
multi-line variable is for `org-html-footnotes-section'. I removed the
default setting of a colon after `Footnotes'. This always struck me as
odd, a house-style too far almost, since other headings do not end with
a punctuation mark.

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes,

Thanks for point that out!  I think I agree with your described use-case
for `org-html-validation-link'.

Makes sense.  I too often find the colon after “Footnotes” inconsistent
and distracting.
