#+TITLE: HTML export of tags
#+DATE: 2010-11-25
#+LANGUAGE: en_US
* Abstract
In HTML exports, one can wanna search on a tag name, via the Web browser's
simple =find= command (=Ctrl-F=).
In the Org file, such a simple search is easily done (let's say from Vim), as
tags are delimited by colon markers. So, just search on ":tagname:".
In the HTML file, there is no such marker. That means, finding a tag can be
really tough.
* Example
Format of the source Org file:
#+begin_src org
** TODO Order a new book :me:
In the meanwhile, give me something else to read than the AsciiDoc tutorial.
#+end_src
Searching the tag (string) "me" through the HTML output will be matched
4 times:
#+begin_src html
** TODO Order a new book me
^
In the meanwhile, give me something else to read than the AsciiDoc tutorial.
^ ^ ^
#+end_src
* Workaround?
Maybe adding a colon before and after the tag would help? CSS to the rescue:
#+begin_src
.tag:before {
content: ":";
}
.tag:after {
content: ":";
}
#+end_src
Answer is: no! In the HTML display, we now do well see a ":me:", but searches
on that same string fail to find it.
* Solution?
- Really add a colon marker in the exported file (to HTML)
- As well, clearly make a separation between the different tags, instead of
concatenating them as one big chunck, so that we could put a background
color that'd be cut between the consecutive tags:
+----+ +----+ +----+
|tag1| |tag2| |tag3|
+----+ +----+ +----+

Seb
