Re: [O] Drupal syntax on html-export for image links

[Jambunathan K]

The exporter is new.  Needless to say there are bugs, known and
unknown. (Think, "Rome wasn't built in a day")

I have fixed few things.  I will respond later for unresolved other
things in your list.

This is fixed now.

The new exporter should behave exactly the same way as the old one.
Otherwise, it is a bug.

For all practical purposes, 
  M-x customize-group RET org-export-e-html RET 
should suffice.

Note that the defcustoms have `org-e-html-' as prefix. (Note the "e" in
"e-html")

This is fixed.

Use `org-e-html-preamble' and `org-e-html-postamble'.

Nicolas has responded to this question.

FYI, `org-export-html-special-string-regexps' becomes
`org-e-html-special-string-regexps'.

I will respond to 3 and 4 separately.  I need to look at this area
closely. (I know nothing about HTML or HTML exporter.)

What is "g:/" here.  Is it the publishing directory or the current
directory.  Given that, does removing the leading "g:/" a specific
requirement of yours or is it generally useful to anyone.
