We obviously need to make this page more readable and useful, but new contents is always welcome. Thanks, -- Bastien

I just noticed a reference to built-in org-agenda-get-some-entry-text in the function I sent earlier. I do not see why it cannot be used outside agenda.

Re: get the body of a heading up to the next subheading
Thanks! Here is what I am currently using: (defun canvas-org-get-heading-body () "Return the body of the current heading up to the next heading." (interactive) (save-excursion (unless (org-at-heading-p) (org-previous-visible-heading 1)) (org-end-of-meta-data) (buffer-substring (point) (progn (re-search-forward org-heading-regexp nil 'mv) (line-beginning-position) So far it gets what I want. I am pretty sure I have reinvented this, maybe even from code I wrote before... I couldn't find my answer on SO or my blog though.

You may use something similar to org-quick-peek--get-entry-text from org-quick-peek package (https://github.com/alphapapa/org-quick-peek): (cl-defun org-quick-peek--get-entry-text (marker &key keep-drawers keep-planning) "Return Org entry text from node at MARKER.

Re: get the body of a heading up to the next subheading
Emacs was created to do such things--in fact the name E-macs is a terse
form of Editor-Macros {originally a derivative of TECO}
{There is a huge list of what Emacs should stand for--my fave is: Emacs
Makes All Computing Simple}
Now, what I'm suggesting is you make a macro, and store and reuse it--to
get you started, I suggest something like this
Cs*
Cn
C@
Cs**
Cx (
replace-string
Cqj
Return
\n
Return
Cx )
name-last-macro
Give it a name & save it & re-use it and/or EXTEND it later

get the body of a heading up to the next subheading
Hi everyone, I am trying to get the body of a heading up to the next subheading. For example with this org file, * quiz one This is the description. Use emacs for this. ** question 1 what is 40 + 2 If the point is in the first heading, I want to run a function that would return the string "This is the description.\nUse emacs for this." I thought there was a simple way to do that, but so far it has eluded my google fu. Any hints?
