Hi Bastien, At the end of the mail is the output of `diff old.html new.html`, most differences are caused by time and randomly generated ids.
The only exception is the Table-of-Content entries, which now has two spaces before each section title. I find that the org-html--format-toc-headline function first appends “. “ after each section number, and then appends the output of html-format-headline-default-function. Thus, after moving the space to the head of html-format-headline-default-function, there are two spaces. Then the problem becomes more complicated, and it might be difficult to solve it without changing the original behavior. I can come up with three options: 1. Stay with the two spaces in ToC, since extra spaces seldom change the appearance of rendered html. But it would cause problems when users use custom org-html-format-headline-function. 2. Further modify the org-html--format-toc-headline function to remove the logic of appending “. “ as below. Then the section heading in both the text and the ToC will have the format of “1 Section-Text”, without “.”. However, this changes the original appearance of ToC. diff --git a/lisp/ox-html.el b/lisp/ox-html.el index f2ce71f68..a17445ca5 100644 --- a/lisp/ox-html.el +++ b/lisp/ox-html.el @@ -2396,8 +2396,7 @@ INFO is a plist used as a communication channel."

Based on the second solution, further update the org-html-format-headline-default-function to append “. “ by default (rather than “ “) like below. This keeps the original ToC content unchanged, but changes the default in-text section heading format by appending one more “.” after the section number. diff --git a/lisp/ox-html.el b/lisp/ox-html.el index f2ce71f68..84da95ddb 100644 --- a/lisp/ox-html.el +++ b/lisp/ox-html.el @@ -2396,8 +2396,7 @@ INFO is a plist used as a communication channel."
