Utility library for providing functions to generate and modify Org mode syntax elements like links, time-stamps, or date-stamps.
This is a utility library for providing functions to generate and
modify [[https://orgmode.org][Org mode]] syntax elements like [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Headlines.html#Headlines][headings]], [[https://orgmode.org/manual/External-links.html][links]], [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Timestamps.html#Timestamps][time-stamps]], or
date-stamps.
** Documentation
You can find the [[http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/novoid/orgformat/blob/master/orgformat.html][pydoc documentation in HTML here]]. Sorry for the
default colors of pydoc.
I also consider [[file:orgformat/orgformat_test.py][the unit tests as a good starting point]] to learn about
the features provided.
Just a few examples:
