Hi!
I am writing an Python-script that converts my old jPilot contact
information to Org-mode. I chose Org-contacts[1] because it seems to
me that this will be a widely used format.
In my old format, the address field is a multi-line field similar
to:
,----[ example ]
| Street Name 42
| 0815 City
| Country
`----
I am using property values for EMAIL, HOMEPHONE, WORKPHONE, PHONE,
MOBILE, FAX, TITLE, and COMPANY.
Is there a good way of adding the (multi line) address to the
PROPERTY drawer or should I put the address in the notes right below
the drawers?
PS: Empty properties are not mentioned in the Org-mode manual. Do
they cause any trouble? (I was thinking of leaving empty properties
for each entry so that I can easily add e.g. a FAX number later on
...)

I'd suggest reformatting the multi-lines address into a single-line
string.

Not that I'm aware of.

Done that. The original data was in fact not multi-line and so I
modified the source code to get one line per information.

Well, it is pretty simple:
contacts.org with two main headings: one for people and one for
companies with one person in yasnippet-syntax:
,----[ yasnippet template for one contact ]
| # name : Org-contacts template for a person
| # --
| ** $1 $2 :$1$2:
| :PROPERTIES:
| :TYPE: ${3:$$(yas/choose-value '("person" "company"))}
| :TITLE:
| :EMAIL: $4
| :MOBILE: ++43/
| :HOMEPHONE:
| :WORKPHONE:
| :PHONE:
| :COMPANY:
| :STREET:
| :POSTALCODE:
| :CITY:
| :COUNTRY: Österreich
| :END:
|
| Erstkontakt: $0
|
