13.9.2 HTML specific export settings ¶

HTML export has a number of keywords, similar to the general options settings described in Export Settings.

‘DESCRIPTION’ ¶

This is the document’s description, which the HTML exporter inserts it as a HTML meta tag in the HTML file. For long descriptions, use multiple ‘DESCRIPTION’ lines. The exporter takes care of wrapping the lines properly.

The exporter includes a number of other meta tags, which can be customized by modifying org-html-meta-tags.

‘HTML_DOCTYPE’ ¶

Specify the document type, for example: HTML5 (org-html-doctype).

‘HTML_CONTAINER’ ¶

Specify the HTML container, such as ‘div’, for wrapping sections and elements (org-html-container-element).

‘HTML_LINK_HOME’ ¶

The URL for home link (org-html-link-home).

‘HTML_LINK_UP’ ¶

The URL for the up link of exported HTML pages (org-html-link-up).

‘HTML_MATHJAX’ ¶

Options for MathJax (org-html-mathjax-options). MathJax is used to typeset LaTeX math in HTML documents. See Math formatting in HTML export, for an example.

‘HTML_HEAD’ ¶

Arbitrary lines for appending to the HTML document’s head (org-html-head).

‘HTML_HEAD_EXTRA’ ¶

More arbitrary lines for appending to the HTML document’s head (org-html-head-extra).

‘KEYWORDS’ ¶

Keywords to describe the document’s content. HTML exporter inserts these keywords as HTML meta tags. For long keywords, use multiple ‘KEYWORDS’ lines.

‘LATEX_HEADER’ ¶

Arbitrary lines for appending to the preamble; HTML exporter appends when transcoding LaTeX fragments to images (see Math formatting in HTML export).

‘SUBTITLE’ ¶

The document’s subtitle. HTML exporter formats subtitle if document type is ‘HTML5’ and the CSS has a ‘subtitle’ class.

Some of these keywords are explained in more detail in the following sections of the manual.
