Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestions for adding a new format to "org-publish"? Any articles, or threads on the mailing list? I've looked around but haven't found anywhere to start.
I want to convert an org file to a tab-separated format, so that it can be imported into a flashcard program called Anki [[http://ichi2.net/anki/]]. The basic idea is that each *** header is a prompt, and the following text is the answer. *** Who wrote /War and Peace/? Leo Tolstoy. *** What is the preferred editor for using Org-mode? Windows Notepad. and so on. The catch is, I'd also like to preserve the *bold* and /italic/ formatting. Not to mention those awesome org-tables. Now, Anki understands HTML formatting. So, ideally, I can use the excellent export to HTML that org-publish already does. That's 95% of the work right there. In fact, I have already written a Perl script that takes an exported HTML file and chomps it into a .tsv. (Almost.) But although my elisp is pretty rudimentary, I have a couple reasons I'd like to implement this within org-publish instead: 1) I could share my work (at least by posting it on my web site; my elisp isn't ready for official contributions yet), and 2) It might make it easier to access the different org-elements directly. For instance, I use *** headers as prompts, so that I can use * and ** to organize the flashcards in the org-file. But, I would like to be able to save the * and ** headers, and use them as "tags" in the final Anki flashcard. (Anki lets you tag your flashcard.) Similarly, I'd like to convert org-mode :tags: as well. I can do all this in Perl, but it feels messy and inelegant, not to mention brittle. On the other hand, those who know org-publish may feel that this is a tall order for org-export-html-final-hook, and just the sort of job that Perl does best. Any thoughts?
