Hello, I was trying to translate the postamble in HTML export in order to translate it in greek and I faced multiple issues.
1) Setting org-html-postamble to auto generates a postamble different than setting it to t and leaving org-html-postamble-format to default. The differences are a) the date string is "Created:" in the first case and "Date:" in the second, and b) most importantly, in the second case the Date does not show up at all 2) I added a new language to org-html-postamble-format so that in the end it looked like (("el" "<p class=\"author\">Συγγραφέας: %a (%e)</p> <p class=\"date\">Ημερομηνία: %d</p> <p class=\"creator\">%c</p>") ("en" "<p class=\"author\">Author: %a (%e)</p> <p class=\"date\">Date: %d</p> <p class=\"creator\">%c</p> <p class=\"validation\">%v</p>")) I set org-export-default-language to "el" and I got unexpected results. Strangely, I observed that the postamble of my index.html page was translated in greek, but a) the Date was missing (naturally) b) the author field was different (strangely, it was my linux username@my hostname, but ok, I guess, since my index.org is automatically generated and I have no author set for it -- how do I set it by the way?) and c) the rest of the pages were in english, and with org-html-postamble = t ("Date:" + empty date) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.12.2) of 2014-09-12 on gandalf Package: Org-mode version 8.2.7c (8.2.7c-61-g4b9146-elpa @ /home/christos/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20140908/) current state: ============== (setq org-tab-first-hook '(org-hide-block-toggle-maybe org-src-native-tab-command-maybe org-babel-hide-result-toggle-maybe org-babel-header-arg-expand) org-speed-command-hook '(org-speed-command-default-hook org-babel-speed-command-hook) org-occur-hook '(org-first-headline-recenter) org-metaup-hook '(org-babel-load-in-session-maybe) org-html-format-drawer-function '(lambda (name contents) contents) org-latex-format-inlinetask-function 'ignore org-confirm-shell-link-function 'yes-or-no-p org-ascii-format-inlinetask-function 'org-ascii-format-inlinetask-default org-export-date-timestamp-format "%Y-%m-%d" org-latex-format-headline-function 'org-latex-format-headline-default-function org-after-todo-state-change-hook '(org-clock-out-if-current) org-latex-format-drawer-function '(lambda (name contents) contents) org-from-is-user-regexp nil org-src-mode-hook '(org-src-babel-configure-edit-buffer org-src-mode-configure-edit-buffer) org-agenda-before-write-hook '(org-agenda-add-entry-text) org-babel-pre-tangle-hook '(save-buffer) org-export-copy-to-kill-ring t org-mode-hook '(#[nil "\300\301\302\303\304$\207" [org-add-hook change-major-mode-hook org-show-block-all append local] 5] #[nil "\300\301\302\303\304$\207" [org-add-hook change-major-mode-hook org-babel-show-result-all append local] 5] org-babel-result-hide-spec org-babel-hide-all-hashes) org-export-with-tags 'not-in-toc org-ascii-format-drawer-function '(lambda (name contents width) contents) org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-hook '(org-babel-hash-at-point org-babel-execute-safely-maybe) org-cycle-hook '(org-cycle-hide-archived-subtrees org-cycle-hide-drawers org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks org-cycle-show-empty-lines org-optimize-window-after-visibility-change) org-export-with-drawers nil org-confirm-elisp-link-function 'yes-or-no-p org-metadown-hook '(org-babel-pop-to-session-maybe) org-html-format-headline-function 'ignore org-babel-load-languages '((ditaa . t)) org-html-format-inlinetask-function 'ignore org-clock-out-hook '(org-clock-remove-empty-clock-drawer) org-publish-project-alist '(("website" :components ("website-content")) ("website-content" :language "el" :base-directory "~/org/chessblog/" :base-extension "org" :publishing-directory "~/public_html/chessblog/" :recursive t :publishing-function org-html-publish-to-html :export-with-tags nil :headline-levels 3 :with-toc t :section-numbers nil :auto-sitemap t :sitemap-filename "index.org" :sitemap-title "Σκακιστική Προπόνηση" :timestamp t :exclude-tags ("noexport" "todo") :exclude "data.org" :html-head-include-default-style nil :html-html5-fancy t :html-link-use-abs-url t :html-link-home "." :html-head "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"static/css/pure-release-0.5.0/pure.css\" type=\"text/css\"> <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"static/css/org.css\" type=\"text/css\"/> <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"static/css/worg.css\" type=\"text/css\"/> <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"static/css/solarized-light.css\" type=\"text/css\"/>") ) )
