I have an org file I am using to write a webpage. I write it in the org file, then export it to an HTML buffer with C-c C-e h H. This exports an entire html document, from the <?xml> declaration to the DOCTYPE to javascript and CSS, to a table of contents, to the ending </body></html>.

My problem is that I only want the org file to be a part of the final page; there is other static content I want there, and that content is controlled by a separate system. My workflow involves taking the org-exported-html and copying part of the resulting html into this second system. This is fine, but I have to manually find the part of the buffer where my content begins, and copy from there to the part of the buffer where my content ends.

Is there a way I can control the "extra" html content org puts into the buffer? It doesn't have to use the org export interface, although it is a convenient way of exporting.

It's possible exporting body-only "as is" using the following keys:

C-cC-eC-bhH

Note that the only thing it differs from your command is C-b before the formatting export options.

At least using Emacs 27.0.9 and the last org from melpa.

    Note also that this applies to any exporter, not just HTML.

  • Very interesting! I wish there was a way to set it by default, but it doesn't look like it.

    @zck I guess your could use either C-u to repeat the last export call, or making your own encapsulated command using org-export-as specifying your backend and options.
