Sebastian Rose has written a JavaScript program especially designed to enhance the web viewing experience of HTML files created with Org. This program allows you to view large files in two different ways. The first one is an Info-like mode where each section is displayed separately and navigation can be done with the n and p keys (and some other keys as well, press ? for an overview of the available keys). The second view type is a folding view much like Org provides inside Emacs. The script is available at http://orgmode.org/org-info.js and you can find the documentation for it at http://orgmode.org/worg/code/org-info-js/. We host the script at our site, but if you use it a lot, you might not want to be dependent on http://orgmode.org and prefer to install a local copy on your own web server.
All it then takes to use this program is adding a single line to the Org file:
#+INFOJS_OPT: view:info toc:nil
If this line is found, the HTML header will automatically contain the code needed to invoke the script. Using the line above, you can set the following viewing options:
path: The path to the script. The default is to grab the script from http://orgmode.org/org-info.js, but you might want to have a local copy and use a path like ‘../scripts/org-info.js’. view: Initial view when the website is first shown. Possible values are: info Info-like interface with one section per page. overview Folding interface, initially showing only top-level. content Folding interface, starting with all headlines visible. showall Folding interface, all headlines and text visible. sdepth: Maximum headline level that will still become an independent section for info and folding modes. The default is taken fromorg-export-headline-levels
(= theH
switch in#+OPTIONS
). If this is smaller than inorg-export-headline-levels
, each info/folding section can still contain child headlines. toc: Should the table of contents initially be visible? Even whennil
, you can always get to the "toc" with i. tdepth: The depth of the table of contents. The defaults are taken from the variablesorg-export-headline-levels
andorg-export-with-toc
. ftoc: Does the CSS of the page specify a fixed position for the "toc"? If yes, the toc will never be displayed as a section. ltoc: Should there be short contents (children) in each section? Make thisabove
if the section should be above initial text. mouse: Headings are highlighted when the mouse is over them. Should be ‘underline’ (default) or a background color like ‘#cccccc’. buttons: Should view-toggle buttons be everywhere? Whennil
(the default), only one such button will be present.
You can choose default values for these options by customizing the variable
org-html-infojs-options
. If you always want to apply the script to your
pages, configure the variable org-html-use-infojs
.
