An org-mode parser written in Ruby. The most significant thing this library does today is convert org-mode files to HTML or Textile. Currently, you cannot do much to customize the conversion. The supplied textile conversion is optimized for extracting “content” from the orgfile as opposed to “metadata.”

Installation

gem install org-ruby

Usage

From Ruby code:

require 'org-ruby'

# Renders HTML
Orgmode::Parser.new("* Hello world!).to_html
# => "<h1>Hello world!</h1>\n"

# Renders Textile
Orgmode::Parser.new("* Hello world!).to_textile
# => "h1. Hello world!\n"

It can also be used from the command line:

org-ruby sample.org --translate html

…will output a HTML version of sample.org.

org-ruby --translate textile sample.org

…will output a textile version of sample.org.

Features

  • Supports bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and code inline formatting.

  • Supports hyperlinks that are in double-brackets

  • Supports definition lists

  • Supports footnotes

  • Supports .org views in Rails through Tilt.

  • Code syntax highlight of code blocks using Pygments.rb or Coderay when available
