Hi list,

I'm writing a function which does some (serious) modifications on an Org
file.  I want it to save the results in some new file, so I'm (most
probably) going to create a new buffer, execute (org-mode) there, copy
the contents of the old one (insert-buffer-substring?) and then do my
stuff.

However, "my stuff" depends on the (org) structure.  Is there something
I should call /before/ I do (org-element-parse-buffer)?  I want to do
something like

    (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) '(headline)
      #'my-stuff)

Is that going to work reliably (on a newly-created buffer)?

TIA,
