Re: [O] exporting zotxt or orgref links to HTML and ODF

[Christian Moe]

Well, color me embarrassed. I never even noticed the switch to
zotxt. And I never tried with Standalone either. Just tinkered happily
away with Eric's excellent old solution and Firefox. Maybe I should check
out both before posting an obsolute solution with unnecessary
dependencies...

Will report back in a little while.

Yours,
Christian
