How to convert a string to Org parsed tree

Hi,

  I am working on the org-reveal exporter and I need to convert a string
get from org-element-property into HTML format. The property string have
some Org-mode markups that need to be converted to relevant HTML labels.
For example, a string of "/italic/" to "<i>italic</i>"

  Is there any existing Org-mode functions can help me to achieve this kind
of functionality?

Regards,
Yujie

Hi Yujie,

how about applying the exporter to the string, e.g. something like

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert (plist-get plist yout-property-string))
  (org-html-export-as-html nil nil nil t new-plist)
  (buffer-string))

(didn't test, just typed this into the mail)


Best regards
Robert

For interactive functions, you can use `org-export-string-as'. E.g.,

  (org-export-string-as "/italic/" 'html 'body-only)

If you don't want the surronding paragraph, you can use the same
function with an anonymous export back-end derived from HTML:

  (org-export-string-as "/italic/"
                      (org-export-create-backend
                       :parent 'html
                       :transcoders '((paragraph . (lambda (e c i) c))))
                      'body-only)

But, from within an export back-end, there are probably other ways that
will not require to collect export options again. E.g,

  (org-export-data-with-backend
   (org-element-parse-secondary-string
    "/italic/" org-element-all-successors)
   'html info)

Try out `org-export-string-as', that will probably do what you want...

Hi, Robert, Nicolas and Eric,

  Thanks to all of you for the kind answers. org-export-data-with-backend
and org-element-parse-secondary-string best meet my requirements. They
worked just as I expected. Thanks again.

Regards,
Yujie
