So I want to write an Emacs package to export org files to a format
used in a website (the syntax is similar to html, but much more
simple).

I have some experience writing my own function in Elisp before, but I
don't know where to start writing a package.

Maybe  [https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-export-
reference.html](https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-export-
reference.html) could be a useful starting point, even though it is
not an introduction.

Give an example of what the export format looks like and what data you
want exported.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
funk443 · 2022-08-10 23:17

It looks like this.

    [div]this is a line[/div]
    [div]this is a new line[/div]
    [div][b]this line is bold[/b][/div]
    [div][i]this line is italic[/i][/div]
    [div][url=http://gnu.org]this line has a link[/url][/div]
    [div][h1][size=6]this line is title[/size][/h1][/div]

Thanks, this seems to suit my need :)

itistheblurstoftimes · 2022-08-10 23:40

What about heading data? Outline level, planning, properties, code
blocks, etc.?

From what you have here it looks like you'd start with org-export.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
funk443 · 2022-08-11 00:29

Alright I'll go check org-export, thanks for the advice!

Looks like bbcode, from back in the day.

You could take a look here
