Re: [O] copying files in the links while exporting to html

[John Kitchin]

there is no builtin way to do this that I know of. I do this in publishing blogposts from org-mode. i use a filter on links that does this. The copying code is here:

https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/user/blogofile.el#L115

the results of that code can be seen at http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu. I wrote about doing some of this here: http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2013/09/28/Changing-links-to-files-so-they-work-in-a-blog/

It may not be what you want, but it might help you build your code. I hope it helps!

Hi orgmoders,

Is there any existing function to copy files in the external links to a specified location when exporting .org file to html? I know org-publish has functionality to copy files with certain suffices on defined project, but my need is to export single file or single subtree in the buffer.

For example, when I export the following subtree, it would be lovely to copy the spam.png to the path I set up.

* foo
  [[file:spam.png]]

If there is no function ready to do that, what is the easiest easy to implement it? any point to the right direction is appreciated.

Thanks,

Zhenjiang
