Spurious file: prefixes while generating <img> tags

[pinard]

Masafumi? Still me...

This one may be debatable somehow, I'm not sure. Currently, org-js includes the file: prefix coming out of Org into the generated HTML. For example, from this file:

#+TITLE: OK
[[file:image.png]]

I get this HTML while going through org-js:

<h1>OK</h1>
<ul></ul>

<img src="file:image.png" alt="file:image.png" title="file:image.png"/>

This generated code is not understood by browsers. The Emacs HTML exporter assumes that a file in the same directory is meant to be available in the directory where the corresponding HTML will be. I cannot ignore this problem, as there are 1500 such image references in the set of Org files I'm currently handling.

So, around this difficulty, I made a publish script with this content:

#!/bin/sh

org=$1
if test -z "$2"; then
  html=`echo $1 | sed 's/.org$/.html/'`
else
  html=$2
fi

if etc/org2html < $org | sed > $html-tmp 's/="file:/="/g'; then
  mv $html-tmp $html
else
  rm $html-tmp
  exit 1
fi

(OK, I know, this script is buggy, because the if tests the exit status from sed rather than the exit status of org2html. Do not bash me too severly, I'm only half-guilty: I consider that the sed is a temporary measure!)

I would presume that org-js would be a nice guy if it was dropping the file: itself.
