Properties and Property Drawers in HTML export

Properties and Property Drawers in HTML export

[Rick Moynihan]

Does anyone know if it's possible to export org-mode properties and
property drawers in a HTML export?

Ok, just discovered the :drawers option!

The documentation claims that supplying a list of properties allows
you to filter which ones are exported, however I can't get this
working... e.g. I've tried setting org-publish-project-alist to both:

:drawers ("FOO" "BAR")

and:

:drawers '("FOO" "BAR")

Neither seem to work... any ideas?

Also, the properties are exported into the HTML like so:

<pre class="example">PROPERTIES
:FOO: blah
:BAR: blah blah
</pre>

Would something like the following not be a better format for
parsing/processing?

<div class="properties">
  <dl>
    <dt class="property_key_foo">FOO</dt><dd
class="property_value_foo">blah</dd>
    <dt class="property_key_bar">BAR</dt><dd
class="property_value_bar">blah blah</dd>
  </dl>
</div>

org-export-format-drawer-function might be what you are looking for:

C-h v org-export-format-drawer-function

Function to be called to format the contents of a drawer.
The function must accept three parameters:
  BACKEND  one of the symbols html, docbook, latex, ascii, xoxo
  NAME     the drawer name, like "PROPERTIES"
  CONTENT  the content of the drawer.
The function should return the text to be inserted into the buffer.
If this is nil, `org-export-format-drawer' is used as a default.

Great!  That looks like what I need... turns out it was introduced 3
weeks ago... shortly after I last updated org-mode...

git pull origin master && make clean && make install

M-x org-reload

tada!

Cheers.
