Re: Is It Possible To Target ID And Classes With Org Mode Exports?

[Samuel Banya]

Hey there,

I used 'C-h r' and found the man page for this under '13.9.12 CSS support' for the Org Mode manual.

Here's the section:

   In order to add styles to a sub-tree, use the ‘HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS’

property to assign a class to the tree.  In order to specify CSS styles

for a particular headline, you can use the ID specified in a ‘CUSTOM_ID’

property.  You can also assign a specific class to a headline with the

‘HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS’ property.

Thanks for providing this, as I had no idea you can do this, great to know!

Will use this to create some 'flexbox' elements using containers with this in mind :)

Thanks again,

Sam

For headline class attribute, see Org manual -> Exporting -> HTML Export -> CSS

support (HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS property). For headline ID, you can set

CUSTOM_ID property.
