I copied your script. Created a new OMPL file and executed the script. Executed again per your instructions and for some reason the first node/paragraph is not rendering. I think I may have moved the nodes around so not sure if that is the cause. Here is a link to my OPML source: http://drummer.scripting.com/frankm/testOutlineToHTML.opml

At the moment i don't have time to study your script to see if I can figure out the cause. Just wanted to tile the issue here so not forgetten.

HTML anchor links are not rendering as expected. I selected text in the outline, clicked the link button in Drummer, and entered the URL. I did this in two spots. See the rendered file here: http://drummer.scripting.com/frankm/myOutline.html

View source shows the link was rendered as follows: To use The browser status bar shows that " appears replace by my Drummer url, http://drummer.scripting.com/frankm.

I see in the template HTML that idPageTitle and idePageDescription are not being used. Just thinking about how they could be used and I think the simplest is to support the OPML headers title and description.

I see that myOutline.html is Javascript driven.

Based on ledes.opml I've hand converted/rendered (using Drummer copy/paste) the following ledes-sms.html (txt) that's a single file fully static HTML.
ledes-sms.txt

Could your script support that, Andy?

Created a node that I indicated as comment by pressing Ctrl+\ for the purpose of storing/remembering the file name given an edit to prompt for the file name. A future enhancement would be to store the HTML file name in a OPML Header variable. For now I would simply created a comment with the file name so I remember so that the file is overwritten.

A future enhancement would be to check for the node attribute isComment and if true skip/ignore.

No doubt you saw but:

Seemed relevant :)

The script currently hardcodes the file name. If one wants to render and host multiple HTML files like a "standard" web site the file names need to be unique. One can simply prompt for a file name, store that in a variable and use that as so:

const url = file.makeFilePublic (htmlFileOut);

A step beyond is to store the file name value as a opmlHeader, perhaps htmlFileName, so that for future edits the script can change for the value and if not null use it.
