org-get-heading, but without the count/percentage cookies

org-get-heading, but without the count/percentage cookies

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi list,

Is it possible to get the text of the Org heading, but without the [n/m]
cookie (or its percentage equivalent)?  Or should I just massage the
result of org-get-heading myself?

If the latter, isn't it a bug?  (I have a use-case where this is
/really/ necessary.)

TIA,

What exporter are you using? I understand that your question/issue isn't
specific to an exporter, but based on the exporter, this task can be very
easy.

Or should I just massage the

result of org-get-heading myself?

That seems to be a grey area.. some folks might actually like to retain
that todo meta data.. or could be that that meta data doesn't yet have an
associated org-element (internal parser).

  (org-last (org-get-outline-path))

This would be simpler than the solution above.

No it isn't. Statistics cookies are but an object, like, e.g. inline
source code. `org-get-heading' is not supposed to remove any kind of
object from the title.

It would be different if statistics cookies were specific to headlines,
which is not the case actually.

It's not connected with exporting.  I have a task (=a todo item) with
subtasks (=a plain list with checkboxes).  I have also my Org
integration with Toggl (a "cloud"-based time tracking system, used in my
company).  Today I noticed that the task descriptions uploaded to Toggl
contain the statistics cookie.

Best,

I think I disagree;-).

I see.  (I didn't know I can have stat cookies in e.g. plain list
items!)
