In version 7.7, a function provided to org-publish via :html-preamble or
:html-postamble no longer accepts a property list of export options. I
do not know if this change is a bug, or if it is deliberate.
I pass functions to :html-preamble and :html-postamble to integrate
generated HTML pages into a web site. In previous versions of org-mode,
such functions took a single argument as documented in
org-export-html-premable: "The function takes the property list of
export options as its only argument." In version 7.7 this appears to
have changed in org-html.el, org-export-as-html, lines 1,340 and 1,791
(they no longer pass opt-plist), without any change to documentation.
Further changes to this code have been made in the git repository.
I was able to restore the previous behavior simply by editing
org-html.el to again pass opt-plist on the two lines, but am interested
in what the future direction is for customizing the HTML output for
org-publish. Was this change unintentional, a deliberate minor change,
or is org-publish or org-html undergoing significant re-design? If this
was deliberate, is there an alternate method for customization functions
to access the property list?
Thanks for any insight,
Bill
