Org-mode exporting capabilities are excellent, but making a freshly-exported HTML project look good with your WordPress theme might seem non-trivial. As a scientist / analyst / statistician you are way overqualified to be dealing with the minutiae of PHP and CSS, and so you might have resigned yourself to less-than-stellar formatting.
Luckily, the recipe for converting an org-exported HTML file into somethign that looks like an integral part of your blog turns out to take 4 easy steps. Let's assume that I'm in the www/org/project/ directory, and the WordPress blog is in www/blog/ directory.
- Make a new file, e.g.
project.php, and start it with<?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', false); require('../../blog/wp-blog-header.php'); get_header(); ?> - Paste in the contents of the <style> and <script> tags from the org-exported HTML header
- Paste in the contents of the org-exported <body>
- Paste
<?php get_footer(); ?>at the end of the file.
You are done! You are free to mess with minor details (centering of the title, location of the org-exported postamble – sometimes it makes sense to move it into the contents div), but you've achieved the main goal: your spectacular analysis looks awesome. Here's an example of the above procedure in action!
