Hi, I want to get the title of some entry in Elisp. That is, from this heading:
*** TODO Do something! I want the "Do something!". I know no function to do this; although there is probably one. What I found is: - (org-entry-properties) returns the TODO keyword, the tags, and the category, but not the title. - (org-get-entry) has no useful documentation but it seems to return the content, not the heading. - (org-get-header HEADER) does something else related to mail; it seems to be unused and not much documented. - (org-get-heading t) seems to return the full line (even with keyword), but with properties: #("TODO Do something!" 0 4 (org-category "test1" fontified t face org-todo) 4 18 (org-category "test1" fontified t face org-level-3)) Based on this, I did a function to remove the TODO keyword and the properties. (defun org-get-heading-title () "Returns the heading of the current entry as a string, without the leading stars, the TODO keyword or the tags." (let ( (title-with-props (org-get-heading t)) (keyword (org-get-todo-state)) ) (substring-no-properties title-with-props (if keyword (1+ (length keyword)))) ) ) Suggestions: - This could also be implemented as a parameter to (org-get-heading). - Or the title returned in (org-entry-properties) - And (org-get-header HEADER) could be removed. - In any case, such a function can be included in Org-mode so that it is easy to find.
