So I was able to construct the following functioning bit of code from
someone else recent post:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results output raw
(defun tagged (tag &optional scope)
(let ((entries ()))
(org-map-entries
(lambda ()
(add-to-list 'entries
(list (concat "[[" (nth 4 (org-heading-components))
"]]"))))
tag scope)
(sort entries (lambda (f s)
(string-lessp (car f) (car s))))))
(tagged "buy" 'agenda)
#+end_src
I have a few elementary questions I hope someone can bother to answer:
1. It seems that when org prints a list, it automatically formats it into a
table. In lisp, what's a proper way of converting a list to a string so I
can have more control over the format? My first attempts were unsuccessful.
2. I'd like to use Org's macros to replace
#+begin_src
(tagged "foo")
#+end_src
with
{{{(tagged "foo")}}}
but Org macros only expand on export. Would it be feasible to change the
macro functionality and hook into file loading? Or is there some other way
I can slim these down to be terse?
