Q: Photos: how can I export album to web pages?

In iPhoto it is possible to export your pictures to web pages. Since I run my own web server, I would like to publish my albums in this (simple) way, under my own control without needing Flickr, Picasa or any other external service. Has the Export to Web Pages functionality of iPhoto really silently disappeared with the introduction of Photos, I don't see this mentioned anywhere, or am I missing something?

For the moment I temporarily solved my problem exporting the original pictures and using a basic php script like easyphpalbum (only needs PHP and GD2+) on my server to display them. Luckily this script can also automatically pick up metadata (such as exif) from pictures so that descriptions and creation date can displayed. This is another thing one often struggles with, using external web album services. It is is nice to have all info contained in the meta-data of the pictures themselves independent of the content hosted at the web album provider.
