Subject: [feature proposal] Export in foreign buffers - ASCII (ox-ascii)
Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2018 21:22:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8422BCDC-5B51-417D-B8DF-9D47BE2896FB@condition-alpha.com> (raw)
Dear Org-Mode Developers,
I was missing convert-region functions in the ox-ascii export back-end
as are provided by the HTML, LaTeX, Texinfo, and MarkDown back-ends [1],
and hence crafted my own (copied below) to go into my init file. My use
case is composing emails using notmuch-message-mode.
[1] https://orgmode.org/manual/Export-in-foreign-buffers.html
I though this feature might be useful to others, too, and would likely
also seem a low hanging fruit to implement? ;-))
It would be awesome to see this new feature in one of the next releases
of ox-ascii.
Many thanks in advance and cheers,
--alexander
