Hm. Well, we could certainly just skip that patch, and apply only the others to org-mode, if we want to keep it. The problem with doing that is that when I am fixing things (e.g., I am working to make links work with various wiki export formats), I don't have the energy to maintain the HTML backend. So it's likely to bit-rot, which would make it turn into a /bad/ exemplar. What do you think? I think also we should try to assemble a single org document with all kinds of markup that are expected to work, and use that to make tests. An export facility is actually easy to regression test.... I just haven't gotten around to it. Do you know if there is such a document for one of the other exporters that I could piggyback on? Best, r
