How you export Org mode files into awesome HTML in 2 minutes

Overview

Description

Though you can easily override CSS stylesheets and add your own HTML themes, we can say (or write) that Org mode provides a basic HTML support.

Org-HMTL themes is an open source framework for providing you with a list of very nice (cross-browser) themes for all your Org documents. Use them to style your docs, and your colleagues will come up to tell you that you are a genius!

Requirements

Org mode version 8 (or later) is required.

If such a version is not bundled with your Emacs, install one from ELPA.

Quotations

About Bigblow

“Very very nice, I enjoy it a lot.”
Ista Zahn

“This is awesome. I love it!”
Rainer M Krug

“This is awesome!!”
Mehul Sanghvi

“This very nice html theme. […] I cannot use another emacs-theme than your emacs-leuven-theme, and it is going to be probably the same with your html theme!”
Joseph Vidal-Rosset

“Thanks a lot for sharing […] the wonderful Bigblow theme. I create lot of specification for other team members to use. It has always been a trouble to share and maintain such spec. Now, I can create a much neater spec which is available for the team’s reference as a webpage.”
Shankar R.

“I like Bigblow the best. I’ve exported most of my Org files using this theme and published them within my company’s intranet. Thanks for sharing this wonderful package!”
Richard K.

About ReadTheOrg

“OMG. The ReadTheOrg theme for exported HTML from org mode files is eye wateringly beautiful. Thank you!”
Rob Stewart

“It is fantastic, so beautiful. I will switch several of my pages over to this theme.”
Carsten D.

“That is incredibly impressive. Thanks for this.”
Noah R.

“Thank you! I enjoy your themes. The best ones I’ve ever found.”
Kang T.

“Awesome theme. Wonderful job. You’re doing a wonderful thing — it will enable people (at least those who use Emacs and Org mode) to put together on-line reference works in a much-more usable fashion than is currently available.”
D. C. Toedt

“Extremely useful.”
Thomas S. Dye

ReadTheOrg

ReadTheOrg is a clone of the official – and great! – theme (called Sphinx) used in the Read The Docs site. It gives a beautiful and professional style to all your Org docs.

Thanks to the creator(s) of Sphinx!

Demo

I’ve written a demo page for the themes that provides a maximal working support of Org mode syntax.

Please see the Org mode refcard page for full examples of headings, code, admonitions, footnotes, tables and other details.

Installing a theme

Using a theme from the theme gallery for your own Org documents is very easy: you just need to clone the Org-HTML themes project, add a #+SETUPFILE: directive in the preamble to include the CSS and JavaScript files, then export your Org mode file to HTML.

You can either:

  • copy the “setup file” of the chosen theme to the directory of your Org files,
    #+SETUPFILE: THEME-NAME.setup
        

    or

  • use the (relative or absolute) path to the “setup file” (in your Git local repository)
    #+SETUPFILE: path/to/Git/repo/setup/THEME-NAME.setup
        

Then export your Org mode file to HTML with org-html-export-to-html or with C-c C-e h h.

Bigblow

In order to use the Bigblow style, just copy the theme-bigblow.setup file to your project and link to it this way:

#+SETUPFILE: theme-bigblow.setup

If you prefer, you can add the content of the setup file at the beginning of your Org file instead:

# -*- mode: org; -*-
