I see.

Right.

To what extent does the new exporter differ from the features
described in the documentation and the tutorial?

Where is the new exporter described? I could only find [1].

So no more «C-c C-e d»?


OK, you convinced me that it would be better to use the new method
then. As you can see in my naive questions: I am not really familiar
withe the old exporter and neither with the new one. So using the
(good) documentation on the old one, I planned to contribute to this
template as much as possible. But I am not sure whether I can
contribute to the new one.
