ORG to HTML

How to do it

1. Download Asteria and open it. It's free and needs no account.
2. Drop your ORG files onto its window, or press ⌘O (Ctrl O on Windows) to choose them. Drop as many as you like.
3. Type convert to htmland press Enter. HTML page from Markdown, Word or LaTeX.
4. The first time, Asteria asks to download Pandoc, a free add-on from John MacFarlane, under the GPL-2.0-or-later license. It shows the download size before you say yes, and needs no administrator password.
5. Press ⌘↵ (Ctrl ↵ on Windows) to save. The HTML files appear next to the originals, which stay exactly as they were.

What it needs

ORG to HTML uses Pandoc, a free program for Markdown, LaTeX and web documents. Asteria doesn't bundle it. The first time you need it, Asteria offers to download it, checks the download against a pinned checksum, and keeps it in its own folder, where Settings can remove it again. If Pandoc is already on your computer, Asteria uses that copy.

How it was tested

A real ORG file was converted on macOS on Apple silicon and Linux, and the HTML that came out was opened and checked with Python parser to make sure it is what it says it is.
