Hello Waldemar, Waldemar Quevedo wrote: It is rather annoying that github understands the org syntax but not quite, so the sources appear almost but not quite right. I maintain the parser that is being by Github = https://github.com/wallyqs/org-ruby If you let me now the issues I can try to fix them, (or PRs are also welcome) For me, an annoying problem is that the Org #+TITLE is treated as a simple text, and not outputted as an headline. So, if we want an headline on GitHub, we need to create a unique level-1 heading, which will be shown as the most important section, hence the title. Then, under that, we can have many level-2 sections. That feature makes it impossible to get the same design for Org documents both as PDF, HTML or GitHub presentation page.

Ok, I will revisit this part of the output from the parser and change it in the next release so that Github can also pick it up (issue here: https://github.com/wallyqs/org-ruby/issues/3) Thanks, - Wally On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 6:23 PM, Sebastien Vauban sva-n...@mygooglest.comwrote: Hello Waldemar, Waldemar Quevedo wrote: It is rather annoying that github understands the org syntax but not quite, so the sources appear almost but not quite right.

Re: [O] Writing your book with orgmode and publishing it on Leanpub
Sorry I sounded dismissive. You are doing an awesome job, it's amazing how much it did get right. No problem at all :) My problem is that I am trying to share my sources as code, not as documentation. I would like my .org files to be treated as you would treat Python code, shown as they are and syntax-highlighted. I've been trying to have syntax highlighting available for documents rendered in Github for a while now. Possibly when this pull request is accepted thinks would be highlighted: https://github.com/github/markup/pull/254 That said, the one place where the translation fails is when the source code of babel snippets should not be exported. Again, probably due to the tension between the need to show the file's content and the desire to render it as a document. I think this might be because :exports none|both|source is currently not implemented for source code blocks, I will try to get this included in the next version of the gem. Thanks for the feedback, and please if you find another issue let me know by creating an issue :) Regards, - Wally On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 5:33 PM, Juan Reyero joa...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 8:39 AM, Waldemar Quevedo waldemar.quev...@gmail.com wrote: It is rather annoying that github understands the org syntax but not quite, so the sources appear almost but not quite right.

Hi, It is rather annoying that github understands the org syntax but not quite, so the sources appear almost but not quite right. I maintain the parser that is being by Github = https://github.com/wallyqs/org-ruby If you let me now the issues I can try to fix them, (or PRs are also welcome) I also noticed that you are using Jekyll with Org mode, so in case you are not a fan a adding YAML to your Org mode files I have this example where you can use `#+layout:` instead of YAML. https://github.com/wallyqs/yet-another-jekyll-org-template https://github.com/eggcaker/jekyll-org/blob/master/convert.rb#L30 Regards, - Waldemar On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 4:24 AM, Juan Reyero joa...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings, I've solved a couple of bugs in the Leanpub[1] markdown exporter[2] (cross-links within the book using ids were not working, and footnotes containing a colon neither).
