Hi all,
I was wondering if there's a way to programmatically get the text
of a node in an Org buffer. Basically, I have a buffer that looks
something like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
* Top header
** Subheader
:PROPERTIES:
:Custom_ID: some_id
:END:
Text starts here, possibly with additional subheaders
#+END_SRC
What I would like to extract is the text below "Subheader", but
without the :PROPERTIES: block.
I've looked at the org-element library, but I haven't been able to
figure out how to use it to extract just the plain text.
I use the :Custom_ID: property to find the relevant subheading and
I know I can use (org-back-to-heading) to get point to the
Subheader containing the relevant :PROPERTIES: block. Obviously, I
could then narrow the buffer to the subheader, use a text search
to move point past the line containing :END: and then extract the
text from there until (point-max).
I'm just wondering if this may break in unexpected circumstances
and whether there's a better way.
TIA
Joost
