I recently started using Octopress since its a great platform for programmers to blog. Since the posts are written in HTML, it was easy to use Org-Mode but once I got to code blocks I noticed that there was no highlighting. I decided to modify the HTML exporter so that code blocks were exported in the format described at http://octopress.org/docs/plugins/codeblock/ . My new exporter is located on github at https://github.com/craftkiller/orgmode-octopress and I welcome anyone to help improve it (for example, right now the body-only tag seems to fail since a table of contents gets exported). The important changes are all at the bottom of the file. Basically I just grab the text before the html preprocessor gets to it and go through line-by-line to find the code blocks.
I wrote some information of setting this up so you can blog with org-mode at http://blog.paphus.com/blog/2012/08/01/introducing-octopress-blogging-for-org-mode/ . Thank you guys for all that you do! Org-mode has made my life significantly easier. Heres hoping this makes some blogger's life easier. -- Tom Alexander HS - Secretary Alpha Sigma Phi; Beta Psi Chapter Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Class of 2013
