Parsing org-mode files

Parsing org-mode files

[Steffen Heilmann]

Dear list members,

I would like to automatically parse the org-mode files within emacs and was wondering if somebody already had done something similar. My idea is to create objects (for example, one object for every **-entry, with attributes that cover the tags, and also one attribute that covers the body of the entry). In that way I would like to add things like comparing two org-mode files on a structural basis, and also add some further intelligence. Before I start writing something like this from scratch, I was wondering if anybody had done something similar or if perhaps hooks already exist within org-mode that I could use.


Best regards,

Steffen

Steffen,

you should probably have a look at org-element.el which parses org files
and creates data structures along the lines of what you will need.

HTH,
eric
