I am wondering about the reasoning behind not re-using #+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: here (its directory part) and simply defaulting to `default-directory'. Is there any situation when you need to export the full document vs. multipage to different places? > - org-html-multipage-head > > (similar to HTML_HEAD but will be used instead of the HTML_HEAD for > custom css/js) Again, why not directly using #+HTML_HEAD? > - org-html-multipage-front-matter > > A list to specify pages in front of the headlines of the > document.

May you please illustrate what you want to achieve by introducing this option?

Should I rather go for the classic texinfo view? Do I understand correctly that your alternative layout is simply a question of custom #+HTML_HEADER? Or is there something more to it? -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
