NAME

Org::To::Text - Export Org document to text

VERSION

This document describes version 0.050 of Org::To::Text (from Perl distribution Org-To-Text), released on 2022-10-11.

SYNOPSIS

use Org::To::Text qw(org_to_text);

# non-OO interface
my $res = org_to_text(
    source_file   => 'todo.org', # or source_str
    #target_file  => 'todo.txt', # default is to return the text in $res->[2]
    #include_tags => [...], # default exports all tags.
    #exclude_tags => [...], # behavior mimics emacs's include/exclude rule
);
die "Failed" unless $res->[0] == 200;

# OO interface
my $oea = Org::To::Text->new();
my $text = $oea->export($doc); # $doc is Org::Document object

DESCRIPTION

Export Org format to plain text, which means mostly things will be formatted as-is. To customize, you can subclass this module.

A command-line utility org-to-ansi-text is available in the distribution App::OrgUtils.

new(%args)

$exp->export_document($doc) => text

Export document to text.

FUNCTIONS

org_to_text

Usage:

org_to_text() -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Export Org document to text.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

No arguments.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
