Thanks. Much closer. Still some issues. Mind taking another gander…. (hoping the attached jpeg of the webpage rendered comes through as an attachment)….
If my emacs buffer holds…
----------------------------------------------
#+BEGIN_SRC org :exports both :results value ascii
,* Acknowledgments
[[mailto:address@hidden][my wife]]
,* Chapter one
Fa la la ls
,* Chapter two
La di di
,* Finally, here is a table of contents!
,#+TOC:
#+END_SRC
----------------------------------------------
….Then exporting to html gives me a webpage with what I think are still a few issues:
- I would expect the 2nd line not to display as an emacs link text. I am trying to display the contents of the emacs buffer.
- There is not table of contents.
As in this screen shot.
Thanks for you TIPS!
