org html link export

[pierwill]

So I use the following code so that zotero:// links will show up in my html exports from org

  ; zotero link type
  ; this so that zotxt links will show up in export
  ; based on `https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-01/msg00647.html'
  (org-add-link-type "zotero"
                     (lambda (rest)
                       (zotxt-select-key (substring rest 15)))
                     (lambda (path desc format)
                           (format "%s" desc)))

This is in my init file. I must confess my elisp is not good enough to see exactly what's going on here. But the strange thing is that unless I explicitly eval this block with C-x C-e, the link is exported as a zotero://, instead of the preferred text of the reference itself.

Could the proper export behavior be worked into zotxt-emacs? Am I missing something here? Is this just my config being goofy?

@pierwill Which version of org-mode are you using? I believe this has changed in recent versions. See this change: 69d8779

i'm on 9.0.5

In that case, try the new link format for 9.x org mode:

(org-link-set-parameters "zotero"
  :follow #'org-zotxt--link-follow
  :export (lambda (path desc format)
            (format "%s" desc)))

I think that should work.

Thanks. That code works, but unfortunately it only works when I explicitly evaluate that code. Having it in my init, or where it is, does not seem to be cutting it...

Probably the issue is that this code is loaded before org-zotxt,, and is then overridden by the default export. Try:

(eval-after-load "org-zotxt"
  (org-link-set-parameters "zotero"
    :follow #'org-zotxt--link-follow
    :export (lambda (path desc format)
              (format "%s" desc))))
