A library for working with Org files. Specifically, this provides utilities for:

• Parsing Org text to an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
• Regenerating Org text from an AST
• Basic manipulation and analysis of an Org document AST
• Generating basic representations Org content in the terminal, and a few other forms.

With the exception of some of the particularly fancy capabilities provided by org-mode (like Babel and Calc-based spreadsheeting), this project aims to exactly match the interpretation of Org mode markup — specifically the AST generated by org-element.el. This goal is not yet achieved, however the bulk of the work is now complete.

Org.jl implements the vast majority of the org-syntax document (see the Progress table). This can be checked by looking at Org.compatability in Julia.

# after installing with ~] add Org~ or ~Pkg.add("Org")~
using Org
text1 = org"Some *Org* markup, written with ease using the ~org\"\"~ macro."
parsetree(text1)  # show the generated parse tree

text2 = parse(OrgDoc, "Some *Org* markup, written with ease using the ~parse~ function.")
diff(text1, text2)  # show the components of the parse trees that differ

dochead = @doc Org.Heading  # the documentation for the Heading component (::OrgDoc)
org(dochead)  # generate Org text that produces the Org.Heading object
string(dochead)  # as above, but produces a String

parse(OrgDoc, string(dochead)) == dochead  # round-trip equality

# get the lang of each source block
[c.lang for c in dochead.components if c isa Org.SourceBlock]
