Re: (Feature Request) add more entry points to configure some export functionality

[Timothy]

Hi again Nicolas,

Once again, thanks for taking the time to respond. I can assure you that it's much appreciated :)

It certainly does, that's part of why I love it!

By item filter, I assume you are referring to org-export-filter-item-functions. That looks quite promising. I just tried a minimal function to testit

(defun tec/org-export-latex-fancy-item-checkboxes (text backend info)
    (pp text)
    "")

However, I must admit I find myself somewhat overwhelmed by the output:

I've tried applying a simple regex replace, which produces a satisfactory output though, so perhaps I'll just ignore all the 'extra stuff' above.

I still feel that it would be nicer to have the body of this cl-case (from org-latex-item) be a variable, but I'm quite happy to have a working solution!

	 (checkbox (cl-case (org-element-property :checkbox item)
		     (on "$\\boxtimes$")
		     (off "$\\square$")
		     (trans "$\\boxminus$")))

Lastly, might you be able to shed any light on the feasibility of my desire to adjust the generation of HTML headers? I'm specifically looking to insert an element like this within the <h?> ... </h?> block:m

<a id="user-content-caveats-qa-etc-etc" class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" href="">(Link Icon)</a>

Thanks,

Timothy
