This is "anonymous element". `org-element-parse-buffer', by default, parses down to object level: * Heading *bold* text contains bold markup, which is reflected in the parsed AST. The title itself is called secondary value, which may contain Org markup. You are not getting it using `org-element-at-point' API because it does not parse objects and simply returns a heading parsed down to element level - :title is not parsed in details. > Question 2: how do I reliably get the title as a string?

Use `org-element-interpret-data' to convert Org AST back to plain text. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
