I think the original bug report is bogus. Especially in view of your statement above. As already pointed out by Nicolas Goaziou, org-mode also requires other external stuff (just as htmlfontify does, see my mail and its manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/htmlfontify.html#Requirements). The reason, e.g. LaTeX isn't mentioned explicitly in the manual or in org is that it is a well-known software. The link is only given as a friendly hint. Also, in regards to the original bug report, while htmlize is _hosted_ on github, which indeed is not free, htmlize itself _is_ free. Right at the beginning of htmlize.el it says: ;; This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify ;; it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by ;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) ;; any later version. When the original poster doesn't want to use htmlize, he probably should try to export without fontifying source code (I think there's a switch, but I'm not sure). Best regards Robert
