Separate org-octopress organization from org-jekyll

[justin808]

@yoshinari-nomura How about if we break out ox-jekyll into it's own project?

And then have org-octopress depend on it?

I've come the conclusion that it's simpler and more accurate to skip any conversion to markdown and to use the HTML formatting.

I just sent you the code to make source blocks work.

Basically, my workflow is: (see my article: http://railsonmaui.com/blog/2013/04/27/octopress-setup-with-github-and-org-mode/)

1. Use rake task to generate blank blog post file or blank page file. This places the yaml front matter (which ox-jekyll is doing right now)
2. I've got my publishing setup for various page and blog entries for octopress.
3. I then run a emacs command to publish the project (rather than the single file).

Let me know what you think.

I think I should create a separate github project for org-ox-jekyll, and then we can change org-octopress to depend on it.

Hi, Justin

I've come the conclusion that it's simpler and more accurate to skip any conversion to markdown and to use the HTML formatting.

Yes, I recommend you to so.

From #11, I have understood you are planning to make the most of octopress plugins suchlike {% codeblock %}. I think it should be configurable whether to use the original src-block expansion or your one.

About your workflow, I have a comment. It is very clever way but I don't want to insert YAML front matter using #+BEGIN_HTML because YAML front matter is not an HTML at all. This is somewhat an abuse of #+BEGIN_HTML. That's why I added #+JEKYLL_* options that compliant with the org-mode manner.

So, how about modify the first step like:

1. Use rake task to generate blank blog post file or blank page file as an org file. This rake task places the #+JEKYLL_* headers instead of YAML front matter. That is, it does the same as org-octopress-new-post.

I could not understand why you want to split org-octopress project into two. Even now, you can use only the exporter if you don't want to use Emacs UI suchlike org-octopress-new-post.

I sometimes invoke Emacs in batch-mode from Makefile or Rakefile. It would be match your taste if you like Rakefile and command line interface.

Ok, that works. We just put the front matter in the org file when we create it and I can modify my rake task to call this function.

Let's figure out how the publishing configuration can handle static pages.
